Synopsis

Combining three textbooks formatted into a standard 7" x 9" softcover textbook with high-quality paper, a laminated cover and professional binding, 420 pages, over 175 diagrams and a full index, Telecom 101 has three parts:

· Fundamentals of Telecommunications,
· Understanding Data Communications and
· Understanding IP and Networking,

with the same content as the course workbook for our three-day core training Course 101, "Telecom, Datacom and Networking for Non-Engineers", plus additional bonus sections.

This content, tuned and refined over the course of twelve years, has been taught to thousands of people needing to build a solid, structured understanding of telecom, datacom and networking.

A high percentage of seminar attendees specifically praise the course materials on seminar evaluations – materials now available in softcover textbook format in Telecom 101.

The material covers telecom, datacom and networking from A-Z, organized in logical chapters covering all major topics, and written in our signature "telecom for non-engineers" style. It will be an invaluable day-to-day handbook, either on its own, or to complement instructor and DVD video training.

· After DVD video or instructor-led training, it will serve as an invaluable day-to-day reference.
· On its own, Telecom 101 is used by many as an economical and convenient way to self-study... these are the materials to an instructor-led course that costs $995 to attend.

Recently, a US Army communications specialist deployed to Iraq called it a "lifesaver" when contacting to us to order his own copy after the owner of the one he was borrowing demanded it back!

The second edition, published 2004, is completely revised and updated, with complete coverage of the fundamentals plus up-to-date information on Gigabit Ethernet, CDMA and 3G cellular, DSL and Cable, Wireless LANs, IP, VPNs, an introduction to Voice over IP and more.

Written by our top instructor, Eric C. Coll, M.Eng., P.Eng, Telecom 101 contain 20 years of knowledge and learning distilled and organized into an invaluable study guide and practical day-to-day reference for non-engineers.

Ideal for anyone needing an authoritative, up-to-date reference covering all major topics in telecommunications, data communications, IP and networking... in plain English. A wealth of clear, concise, organized knowledge, impossible to find in one place anywhere else!
