"Understanding ATM" is a must read,
By Ken Robinson (ken.robinson@globalone.net) (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding ATM (Mcgraw-Hill Series on Computer) (Paperback)
Stan Schatt's ATM book is brilliant! I've made this required reading for everyone in my Global One Network Design & Management group - Mr. Schatt is a unique author with the ability to take very complex technical subjects and present them in easy to digest morsels. I have also recommended his other books on LANs & Telecommunications Management to senior commercial & business managers, here in Europe who are looking for an easy to understand reference. "Understanding ATM" is a must read for anyone in the telecomm business who plans to remain on the leading edge in the future!
