Newnes Data Communications Pocket Book is a remarkable toolkit for engineers, IT professionals, managers and students. The wide ranging coverage is focused firmly on day-to-day information needs, comprising the data, formulae and fundamentals that professionals and students really need to hand in work situations.

The scope of this book encompasses networking, on-line services, fibre optics, network protocols, data compression, and the standards that govern these technologies. The new edition has been fully updated to include new material on USB, Firewire, IP version 6, ISDN, ADSL / HDSL, PC video standards and video on demand. The section on LANs has been rewritten with new sections on Cisco, connecting LANs to WANs, and wireless LAN technologies including Bluetooth. There is also a greatly increased emphasis on security, access and administration issues.

Despite the complexity of the subject, this wealth of information is presented succinctly and in such a way, using tables, diagrams and brief explanatory text, as to allow the user to locate information quickly and easily. Thus the book should be invaluable to those involved with the installation, commissioning and maintenance of data communications equipment, as well as the end user.
