Description
The "Irwin Handbook of Telecommunications" is today's must-have industry reference. Along with coverage of the basics every telecommunications professional must know, the Fourth Edition explains how elements fit together as a total system. In addition, the book's focus shifts from North American systems to newly important global aspects of the technologies. Changes brought on by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 are explained in detail, along with information on new and emerging products including voice over packet networks, new data protocols, and convergence of voice and data services.
