About this title

Synopsis

Assuming that readers are new to the dynamic field of telecommunications, the text branches into sections covering networking essentials, voice networking, WANs, and LANs and internetworking. The first eight chapters present an overview of the purposes, advantages, and basic workings of network protocols, with the nuts and bytes left to the subsequent 19 chapters. Following a historical survey, coverage includes such topics as analog and digital systems, business and residential network services, signaling, wireless communication and CDMA, and Linux administration. Includes sharper than average graphics, exercises without an answer key, and appended "alphabet dance" acronyms. The only reference is the author's new web page. No date appears for the first edition. Ramteke is with the DeVry Institute of Technology in Phoenix, Arizona. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From the Back Cover

Tim Ramteke has spent years developing this modern introduction to voice and data networks. He has combined current industry standards with the courses he teaches in advanced electronic communications technology. The result is this insightful text. Divided into four separate parts, the book provides a sound foundation in the subject and a complete assessment of state-of-the-art networking technologies.

• Part 1 provides the groundwork for studying networks: from telecommunications to digital signals and transmission facilities and services.
• Part II introduces voice networking from signals and switching to voice processing and on to virtual networks.
• Part III covers data networking with Wide Area Networks (WANs): from SNA to X.25, and SS7 to ISDN.
• Part IV covers data networking with Local Area Networks (LANs): from LANs to Novell's NetWare, and Interconnecting LANs to TCP/IP.

Each chapter covers every topic so completely that each chapter can stand alone, and each one was reviewed by industry experts and academics for currency and accuracy. The text organization and the discrete nature of the chapters allow for maximum flexibility. Topics can be studied in sequence, or chosen to fit individual needs. In addition, each chapter concludes with a set of practical problems that provide a real-world grasp of the material.
