The telecommunications industry has advanced in rapid,significant and unpredictable ways into the 21st century. GlobalNetworks: Design, Engineering and Operation guides the globalindustry and academia even further by providing an in-depth look atthe current and developing trends, as well as examining the complexissues of developing, introducing, and managing cutting-edgetelecommunications technologies. The author draws upon hisconsiderable experience in the telecommunications industry toeducate engineers designing equipment and systems on the hardwareand software features essential to fault tolerant operation. He describes how to design networks that are fault tolerant andglobal in scope; how to identify best engineering and operationspractices; and examines the role of technology labs in carriernetworks. Software and hardware engineering practices are coveredin depth. Hardware and software designs are explained with anemphasis on application and interaction of craft and operators withequipment and systems. The author proposes that equipment, systemsand network designs should be integrated with the engineering andoperations teams that run them. Practice, experience and ahistorical background are used to describe which designs andtechnologies fit which network services and applications. GlobalNetworks is a complete and thorough assessment of thecommunications industry today, written by an author ofinternational renown.
Key features:
* Comprehensive treatment of the key theories and technologiesassociated with the design of modern communications networks,including equipment, systems and network design
* Coverage of equipment and software design, mobile networks,integration and the characteristics of large network outages
* Written in an accessible style and fully illustrated, it offersa complete and up-to-date picture of communications technologiesfrom initial design through to application
* Includes a section on future challenges such as the Exabytetraffic growth and an assessment of the dual roles of IPV4 andIPV6
