Book Description
Broadband 101 is ideal for anyone needing a book covering all major topics in broadband telecommunications, IP and networking... in plain English. In one book, you get consistency, completeness and unbeatable value: a wealth of clear, concise, organized knowledge, impossible to find in one place anywhere else! Our approach can be summed up with a simple philosophy: Start at the beginning. Progress in a logical order. Build one concept on top of another. Finish at the end. Avoid jargon. Speak in plain English. Bust the buzzwords, demystify jargon, and cut through doubletalk. Fill in the gaps, build a solid base of knowledge, put a structure in place and show how everything fits together... knowledge and understanding that lasts a lifetime. Broadband 101 is designed for the non-engineering professional needing an overview and update of the modern broadband converged IP telecom network, and for those new to the business needing to get up to speed quickly. Broadband 101 is a subset of the larger volume Telecom 101, focusing on the broadband IP telecom network while skipping topics associated with the legacy PSTN. From first principles to MPLS VPNs, ISPs to cloud computing, radio fundamentals to 5G, we’ll explain the jargon, the technologies, and more importantly, the underlying ideas, without bogging down on legacy technologies. Based on training courses developed, refined and tuned over many years, the selection of material, its order and emphasis in Broadband 101 is proven and field-tested to bring you the knowledge you need. Understanding what everything does and how it all works together allows you to be more accurate, eliminates frustration with buzzwords, and gives you confidence to make meaningful contributions. Don't be left out in the cold! You have the added advantage of knowing what someone is talking about, even if you’re not familiar with the exact details of the variation they’re discussing.
