Telecommunications Primer

This new edition of this popular text focuses on telecommunication systems and services, predominantly in a business context. The contents provide concise, accessible and non-mathematical coverage of scientific and technical principles of telecommunication, their application in the wide variety of telecommunication services available and the functional characteristics of these services. Over 50% of the text relates to business services, and the strategic issues they raise. The text is therefore ideally suited to all HND and degree courses for which students need to have an understanding of the technological background to modern methods of telecommunication and the criteria that underpin intelligent business decisions.
