Telecomworldwide

Having left speeding bullets far in the dust, telecommunications network technology is now advancing faster than pulses in optic fiber. Engineers from the Sprint Corporation present a practical review of progress in long-distance networks over the recent few years. Their treatment avoids mathematical equations in order to speak to readers who oversee, plan, design, or operate a digital network; the first few chapters outline the core of specialized knowledge and design practices necessary to follow the rest of the book.
