Synopsis

This complete introduction to data communications is written to bring a fresh, readable, business-oriented perspective to the technology that lies at the heart of the booming telecommunications revolution. Providing a solid background of fundamentals to tomorrow's information systems professionals, this survey of data communications keeps a balance between the super-technical and the watered-down, providing a solid understanding not only of how things work, but how they can be applied to create business solutions. An accompanying interactive CD-ROM, integrates tightly with the book and provides 11 modules that make concepts come to life and allow hands-on practice of skills. This new, updated second edition features even more remediation at the end of each chapter and coverage of cutting-edge technologies such as Bluetooth, highly elliptical orbiting satellites, V.92, code division multiplexing, and wireless technologies.
