The Second Edition of this critically-acclaimed textcontinues the standard of excellence set in the first edition byproviding a thorough introduction to the fundamentals oftelecommunication networks without bogging you down in complextechnical jargon or math. Although focusing on the basics, the bookhas been thoroughly updated with the latest advances in the field,including a new chapter on metropolitan area networks (MANs) andnew sections on Mobile Fi, ZigBee and ultrawideband. You'lllearn which choices are now available to an organization, how toevaluate them and how to develop strategies that achieve the bestbalance among cost, security and performance factors for voice,data, and image communication.
An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all theproblems in the book is available from the Wiley editorialdepartment.
