DESCRIPTION:
"Exhaustive and surprisingly down-to-earth."
He strives to be 100% explanatory and 100% practical -- explaining what the technology means, what it does, what its benefits are and what its pitfalls are. This one is current as of early 2002. He is not an engineer. That, he says, is the ultimate thrill. He founded LAN (now Network), Teleconnect, Call Center and Computer Telephony magazines. Newton explains complex technology in non-technical business language even he can understand. Some
Needs to be on the desk of every Telecom professional Todd Wylie Learning telecommunications is difficult when you realize that this industry thrives on producing thousands of worthless acronyms. When I started out in this field, it felt like I was learning a foreign language--and I was. This book will prove invaluable to as you as you work your way through a hoarde of acronyms that most people using them can't fully explain when questioned.Bruce from Dallas, raises a valid point, the definitions do not stand on t.

Authoritative but inconsistent Enovative Solutions Inc Stephenson I've worked in the telecom industry for years, and this dictionary accurately defines more telecom terms than any other.

Even after the huge growth in Internet usage in the last few years, more people are actually talking on cell phone networks than are surfing the Internet. There are many new standards, new technologies and new vendor-specific terms. The nature of ubiquitous communications has created the "virtual" corporation, with mobile employees carrying laptops, cellphones and pagers. This book is for everyone trying to keep up with the new technologies and terms being created everyday. Terms are explained in easy to understand definitions and mini essays, sprinkled with Newton's dry wit. This book thoroughly defines terms in an accessible and non-technical manner, using as extensive or as brief an explanation as necessary for each term.. The demand is coming from everywhere -- ecommerce, video, employee collaboration, etc. There will be one billion people on line by 2005. This has led to a huge growth in virtual private networks, fueling more demand. Newton's Telecom Dictionary has long been required reading for anyone involved in the telecommunications, networking, and Internet industry. Communications traffic worldwide is growing rapidly -- wired and wireless. It is more essential today than ever before because of the revolutionary changes that continue to unfold. Data and voice traffic on the Internet is doubling every 100 days
