A practical, accessible survey of telecommunications and data communications services and technologies

- 802.16 and WiMAX
- Passive Optical Network (PON)
- 802.11g/n
- Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)
- Broadband over Power Line (BPL)
- Instant Messaging
- ZigBee

In addition, Telecommunications and Data Communications Handbook expands on topics of increasing interest, including:
- Fiber Optics
- Storage Area Networks (SANs)
- Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
- CATV Networks
- Wireless, including Bluetooth
- Cellular, including 2.5G and 3G, photos, video, and ring tones and ring-back tones
- Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), including IP PBX and IP Centrex
- Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) vs. H.323

Complete with a discussion of the current regulatory and business environments, including divestiture and revestiture as well as mergers and acquisitions, this is the ideal reference for non-engineering professionals in the end-user, carrier, content or service provider, manufacturing, regulatory, or financial communities.
