Whether you're a hobbyist, experimenter, or just curious about electronics, technology, and personal computing, Understanding Data Communications, Fifth Edition, is the perfect guide for you. Written in an easy-to-follow format, this book gives a thorough look at the world of data communications and its impact on our lives. It explores the inner workings of data terminals, transmission channels, fiber optics, and satellites, as well as asynchronous and synchronous modems and interfaces. And, you'll learn how database services, information utilities, and electronic bulletin boards operate.

From the Back Cover

The book explains data communications systems and their various hardware and software components. Organized like the highly successful 5th edition, the book takes a textbook approach to the complex issues surrounding the understanding of data communications concepts. This format allows the reader to tailor the book to their needs. If their objective is to obtain general information about a subject, they can bypass the more detailed portions of the text and take the quiz to test their knowledge. If they really want to delve deeper into a topic they can focus on the specifics of the chapter and refer to other books listed in the bibliography for additional information. The author provides a basis for understanding data communications systems in general, and provides expertise on setting up specific types of communications systems.
