• Fiber optics, optical amplifiers, and wavelength-division multiplexing
• New busses and interconnection standards such as CAN bus
• Internet Protocol and Voice over Internet Protocol
• Channel simulators and wireless noise characteristics
• Short-range Bluetooth wireless standard
• Smart antennas for cellular systems

Also new to this edition is a CD of SystemView by Elanix, a powerful, system-level modeling and simulation tool for understanding communication-system performance and architectures.
