Synopsis
A survival guide to global telecommunication technologies As our world grows ever more complex, no one can expect to be knowledgeable in, let alone master every technology. But as telecommunications technologies permeate nearly every aspect of our lives, gaining a working understanding of their principles and applications has become essential for both professional and personal success. For the undergraduate student preparing for his or her future vocation, as well as the accomplished professional on track for a rapid career move, this book is the "survival guide" to telecommunications a quick introduction to the most important telecom technologies. Written with accuracy and rigor, this guide avoids any unnecessary background or academic style in order to introduce you directly to the core knowledge and understanding. Wiley Survival Guide in Global Telecommunications: Broadband Access, Optical Components and Networks, and Cryptography provides in-depth discussions of key areas in telecommunications, including: Broadband wireline access (xDSL flavors, VoDSL, FTTx, xPON, HFC, home networking) Optical communications, from planar/fiber waveguides to passive/active photonic components, including fiber gratings, erbium/Raman fiber amplifiers, E/O switches, semiconductor lasers, SOA-based devices, photoreceivers, and optical cross-connects WDM transport and standards, network integration, protection, evolution, and convergence Cryptography, from ancestral algorithms to modern RSA, DES, and AES, and quantum key distribution Communications security over the Internet and current/futuristic applications Designed to be accessible to a wide range of readers, the book steers you directly into the relevant issues, while elucidating the science and engineering involved without heavy-duty mathematics, allowing you to produce results using your pocket calculator. You can read each chapter in sequence or, if you prefer, jump to topics of interest as you wish. A wealth of easy and practical exercises illustrate the concepts, chapter-end summaries of main keywords and acronyms clarify the technical language, and a selected reference list including Web sites leads you to other helpful sources for further investigation. Arm yourself with the knowledge you need to survive in the telecom world by reading this book!, Readers will now be able to quickly learn about the exciting field of telecom technologies with this introductory book. This new series presents the material in an easy-to-understand that helps broaden conceptual horizons, focusing on the applied areas of broadband and cryptography., Global Telecom Technologies: A Survival Kit Volume 2 is an excellent introduction to telecommunications. Providing coverage of areas that are essential knowledge for anyone involved in the telecommunications industry, it is also written for those that have no previous knowledge or understanding of the industry.
