Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Telecommunications--as broadly defined by Newton's Telecom Dictionary to include voice and data communications, including the Internet--are the defining technology of our age. As such, thousands of terms have entered the lexicon to describe the tools and techniques used to move information from one geographic location to another. People have coined still more terms to facilitate the buying and selling of telecommunications services. While no dictionary of such a large and fluid collection of jargon could ever hope to approach completeness, this book makes a decent stab, and is an informative and entertaining resource for reading and reference. On the theory that merely expanding an unfamiliar acronym can help you understand it, this book will teach its readers a great deal.

Harry Newton and his team of contributors have collated thousands of terms and phrases into this reference, and defined each with a capsule. The terms include the names of technical specifications ("FRF11" and "Q.931" are two examples), technical jargon (such as "start bit" and "Type 1 CLEC"), items of equipment ("smart card"), and organisations ("Bellcore"). There's other material here, too, including more than a few entries that make you wonder. Did the term "Code Blue"--which describes a technical feature of hospital phones by which patients can signal their distress to distant nurses by knocking their phone receivers from their cradles--really derive from the fact that people turn blue when unable to breathe? Perhaps or perhaps not, but it drives the definition home and makes for fun reading. --David Wall, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Newton's Dictionary: The Official Dictionary of Telecommunications and the Internet (Paperback)

This dictionary provides an almost complete reference for terminology in a variety of IT sectors. Useful on a day to day basis if working within one of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars A CD version would be more useful and portable, 3 Sep 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Newton's Telecom Dictionary (Paperback)

Computer is faster than human eyes to search a word in dictionary. A CD version of dictionary is more appropriate for mordern technology. When will the CD version publish?
