Synopses & Reviews
Business-oriented, it teaches about building and using networks. The mathematics of data communications has been replaced with simple English descriptions and illustrations which show technical details or how a concept works. New to this edition: frame and cell relay, T-carriers, fast packet multiplexing, installing a LAN, digital channel banks and cross-connect switches, electronic data interchange (EDI) and much more. An extensive index makes it easy to locate anything. Also includes a copious amount of new illustrations and a running case study.
