DESCRIPTION:
--Pete Ostenson. This book is the perfect complement to such industry mainstays as Perlman's Interconnections, Comer's Internetworking with TCP/IP, and Tanenbaum's Computer Networks. We have access to unlimited information over the Internet. Now, we have phone numbers for home, work, mobile phone, fax machine, and pager. Living in an era of instant communication has certain drawbacks. What technology is behind the scenes, and how does all of this information get delivered? That is the question that's answered by this remarkable tome, Ray Horak's Communications Systems & Networks. For a manager who wants a technical overview of a given subject, the depth is perfect--just enough knowledge to become dangerous. Historical perspective is integrated with technical details, an

As a switch software developer for many years, I have developed a deep understanding of small corners of switch features, but lacked a good overall knowledge of network architecture.

This is a comprehensive overview of modern communications networks (with interesting brief histories - a nice touch for good readability) aimed at a person with so
Packed with diagrams and illustrations, Communications & Systems delivers plain-English explanations of all the technical fundamentals -- and puts everything in context by addressing standards, regulations, and the real-world outlook for legacy, contemporary, and emerging technologies. Whether you're a communications pro who wants to gain some perspective or you just want to understand our increasingly wired and wireless world, this is the one book you need to see the big picture, with just the right amount of detail.. In this unique overview, Ray Horak lucidly describes today's communications systems and networks -- voice, data, video, and multimedia -- and explains how they are likely to evolve and converge as we move further toward an information-based economy
