Format:Paperback
Well maybe not everything. The technology is broad and ever changing. However this book is packed with juicy tidbits about all kinds of broad band communications. I already know a lot of the information. However there are two distinct advantages in this book. One is to tell you what you know from a different point of view; this help round out the concepts in ones head. The second advantage is the book starts from ground zero allowing non technical people the ability to communicate and make educated decisions about communications.
After this overview book you can go into more depth with the manuals from the product. However you will find yourself coming back to this book to affirm the concepts. You can use the book like a dictionary of terms or an encyclopedia.

Author's Comments
10 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
Hello folks:
I wanted to take just a few moments to discuss this book before you choose to purchase it. The reason I wrote this book is because in the past everyone has been yakking about broadband communications. However, the discussions always led to one topic (usually one that the people had a vested interest in such as a manufacturer). As a result no one talked about broadband in what is it? What will it do for me? and How much will it cost me? So I took it upon myself to do the digging on the topic. Not all of the subjects are fully broadband, but they compliment or complete the puzzle in a broadband network (like the SS7 and AIN sections) There are many ways to look at a network, this is my version of all the components that combine to make up the best networks in the world.
So read this for the merit is offers, a discussion of the technologies, not some engineering techno-babble. Use the book as a desktop reference on how and why things work the way the do, not for a series of mathematical equations that you find in other works.
Find the application, then match the application to a technology.
Thanks for reading this comment section and thanks to all of you who continue to show your support and e-mails to me. I really hope that I can make a difference in your eductaion and growth in the Telecommunications industry.
Bud

An excellent Resource!
26 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
I read and review dozens of technology books for my TrainingCity.com classes every year, and I only recommend a small percentage of them. Broadband Telecommunications Handbook is among the best. It's the perfect resource for individuals who need a clear and concise explanation of the technologies encountered in the field every day.
The book gets to the heart of modern WAN technologies and explains concepts such as T1 AMI vs. HDSL in an extraordinarily clear and easy to understand manner. Very few authors have this ability to explain technologies in a way that can be understood by both engineers and non-engineers alike.
In conclusion, Broadband Technologies Handbook deserves a place in your resource library today.
