About this title

Synopsis

Communications traffic worldwide is growing rapidly -- wired and wireless. Data and voice traffic on the Internet is doubling every 100 days. There will be one billion people on line by 2005. The demand is coming from everywhere -- ecommerce, video, employee collaboration, etc. Even after the huge growth in Internet usage in the last few years, more people are actually talking on cell phone networks than are surfing the Internet. The nature of ubiquitous communications has created the "virtual" corporation, with mobile employees carrying laptops, cellphones and pagers. This has led to a huge growth in virtual private networks, fueling more demand. Newton's Telecom Dictionary has long been required reading for anyone involved in the telecommunications, networking, and Internet industry. It is more essential today than ever before because of the revolutionary changes that continue to unfold. There are many new standards, new technologies and new vendor-specific terms. This book is for everyone trying to keep up with the new technologies and terms being created everyday. Terms are explained in easy to understand definitions and mini essays, sprinkled with Newton's dry wit. This book thoroughly defines terms in an accessible and non-technical manner, using as extensive or as brief an explanation as necessary for each term.

Review

"Exhaustive and surprisingly down-to-earth."
