Riassunto
Packed with information, authoritative, up to date, covering all major topics - and written in plain English - Telecom 101 is an invaluable textbook and day-to-day reference on telecommunications for non-engineers. Telecom 101 covers the technologies, the players, the products and services, jargon and buzzwords, and most importantly, the underlying ideas... and how it all fits together.
This is the best comprehensive book on telecommunications available anywhere: based on the course materials for Teracom's famous instructor-led Course 101 Broadband, Telecom, Datacom and Networking for Non-Engineers, the selection of content, its order, timing and pacing has been tuned and refined over years to effectively define and deliver the core set of technical knowledge needed by anyone serious in the telecom business today.
In one book, you get consistency, completeness and unbeatable value: 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 in the gaps, build a solid base of knowledge, put a structure in place and show how everything fits together... knowledge and understanding that lasts a lifetime.
Many chapters of Telecom 101 are like self-contained reference books on specific topics; get all of these topics bound in one volume for one low price. Compare this to hunting down and paying for multiple books by different authors that may or may not cover what you need to know- and you'll agree this is a very attractive deal.
