From the Back Cover
Telecom 101 is the companion reference textbook for Teracom Training Institute's famous instructor-led core training Course 101 Broadband, Telecom, Datacom and Networking for Non-Engineers, a three-day intensive classroom course for professionals who need to get up to speed on telecommunications.
Telecom 101 is the best telecommunications book available anywhere, because the selection of content, its order, timing and pacing for Telecom 101 is based on pounding the pavement, teaching Course 101 seminars and answering student questions: finding out what people like you need to know, and constantly updating the course accordingly.
Tuned and refined over many years, Telecom 101 is the core knowledge anyone serious in the telecom business needs today, totally up to date. A wealth of clear, concise, organized knowledge, impossible to find in one place anywhere else.
Our approach can be summed up with a simple philosophy: Start at the beginning. Progress in a logical order. Build one concept on top of another. Finish at the end. Avoid jargon. Speak in plain English. Bust the buzzwords, demystify jargon, and cut through doubletalk! Fill gaps and build a solid base of structured knowledge. Understand how everything fits together... knowledge and understanding that lasts a lifetime.
Ideal for anyone needing a book covering all major topics in broadband, telecom, data communications, IP and networking... in plain English.
There are two ways to use this text, and we suggest that you try both.
The first way is to read it sequentially, from beginning to end, ensuring that you understand the concepts in each section before moving on to the next. This is what we do in instructor-led seminar and online course versions of this material.
A professional instructor leading you through this material would require four to five days of intense, fairly fast-paced discussion; so it might be reasonable to think that you could read this text in a week full-time or a month part-time.
However, no one expects anyone to absorb all of this information at once. Sometimes it takes time to really understand various concepts. Also, you may run into the technologies discussed in text this some time after you first read it, and will need a reference and refresher.
This leads to the second way to use this text: as a day-to-day reference handbook and glossary. The Table of Contents has been constructed to allow pinpoint navigation to important topics, and is hyperlinked and searchable in the eBook editions.
Thousands of people in the telecom, networking, government, military, educational, financial, insurance, health, entertainment and other sectors, including people working for Cisco, Juniper, Intel, Microsoft, the CIA, FAA and IRS, all branches of the US Armed Forces, AT&T, Verizon, Lumen, T-Mobile, Sprint, Global Crossing, Bell, TELUS, Transamerica Insurance, Oneida tableware, the San Francisco Giants and countless others have benefited from this knowledge and our approach to transferring it.
We hope you will too.
