Van Bosse is to be commended for creating the first and to date only readable text on telecommunication signaling. If you're looking for an explanation of how various signaling protocols are used in the PSTN, this book provides all the essential information you need.

A good book to understand basic and advanced concepts in telecom signaling. Covers all most all the latest technologies.

In the next addition author can introduce another chapter on analog signaling like FXS, FXO and E&M. Although digital signaling is catching up but still there are few systems which uses older analog signaling.

Moreover it will be more useful if it takes examples from real world carrier networks using 5ESS, EWSD and E10B switches.

Please add something on ** QSIG ** also.

best book I have read on telecom signaling. I especially like the chapters on SS7, TUP, ISUP, ISDN Q.931. The coverage focuses more on functionality than on the details of the protocols, which you can anyway pick up from the standards once you have the basic understanding. This book uses a lot of examples that make sense and the author appears to know the technology well enough to provide useful insight. The materials have been digested and very readably presented to the reader. This is a book you can really learn a lot comparing with other books which blatantly copy the standard text.

I am teaching a college course on Telecommunications Technologies and have read over ten books on various communications areas, as well as numeroous web articles. This book is probably the best presentation I have read so far. It gives a precise and clear description of the topics it covers. It combines two seemingly conflicting characteristics: it is concise but comprehensive.
The presentation is very illuminating because it often explains the rationale behind features of protocols and architectures.
Descriptions of telecomm networks, transmission etc, given in the book as background, are very good for overview and general understanding.
I warmly recommend the book.

I am an adjunct professor at Utah Valley University teaching a Computer Science course in "Telecommunications and Voice over IP (VoIP)" and this is a great book! Unfortunately, I discovered the book too late to order for the class this year (hesitant due to the high price), but I am glad I found it. I used the book throughout this year's class (Jan-Apr) and it is now the textbook for the Spring 2010 class.

It covers a breadth of material in quite good detail, which makes it a challenge to use just because all of it cannot be taught in a single semester. It does give plenty of well-explained material for use.

This is a great book for telecom and VoIP signaling details!

Six new chapters included in this edition... Access systems, CDMA, INAP, VOIP, ATM and ITU-T improvements are all here. Well presented, detailed, thorough references. A good book for looking up signaling details.

Well written. Both this book and Manterfield's book are the best books in this area at the moment. It is clear the author is very technical skilled in Signalling, and this makes for a book that is easy to read and to understand. I do not think that if you wish to know about signalling/SS7 that you will be disappointed with buying this book.
