Freeman, a telecommunications consultant, introduces fundamentals of telecommunication networks without bogging readers down in complex math and technical jargon. Material is designed for high-school graduates who understand algebra, logarithms, and basic principles of electricity, with appendices reviewing essentials of electricity, mathematics up through logarithms, and decibels and their applications. This second edition reflects the latest advances in the field, with new chapters on metropolitan area networks, voice over packets, television transmission, and network management. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The Second Edition of this critically-acclaimed text continues the standard of excellence set in the first edition by providing a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of telecommunication networks without bogging you down in complex technical jargon or math. Although focusing on the basics, the book has been thoroughly updated with the latest advances in the field, including a new chapter on metropolitan area networks (MANs) and new sections on Mobile Fi, ZigBee and ultrawideband. You’ll learn which choices are now available to an organization, how to evaluate them and how to develop strategies that achieve the best balance among cost, security and performance factors for voice, data, and image communication.

An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
