Book Description

CRC Press Advanced and Emerging Communications Technologies February 26, 1999
Communications technologies-one of the hottest subject areas around and progressing at a remarkable rate.
New technologies, protocols, devices, and networks are emerging each day. And with the teeming communication-related material, new terms and concepts are also mounting. This reference can help professionals in the communications field cope with this overwhelming influx. Also, a new generation of users, resulting from the growth of the World Wide Web, will appreciate this guide through the labyrinth of terminology, procedures, tools, and applications.

Data & Telecommunications Dictionary is a technically comprehensive, standard-setting reference that compiles approximately 10,000 terms and concepts in a visually appealing, easy-to-read format. Generously illustrated with charts and diagrams, the book documents significant information in a substantial and relevant manner-including timelines and charts to enhance its readability and appeal.
Data & Telecommunications Dictionary improves on current references through its:
  • encyclopedic format with clearer, easier-to-read layout and illustrations
  • greater technical and historical accuracy
  • coverage of new satellite technologies
  • coverage of network protocols and emerging fiber optic media
  • inclusion of telecommunications standards bodies and associations
  • origins of historic technologies leading to the computer revolution
  • capsule biographies of significant contributors to telecommunications

    These benefits provide a consistent look and feel throughout the dictionary, conveying the information more effectively and visually appealing than other references.
