Here's an exciting book that gives you a comprehensive understanding of the emerging and proven technologies that allow high-speed remote access to the Internet and to broadband services such as Video-on-Demand. It shows you how to design the network that provides broadband links between end-users and service providers, and the operations systems that control networks. From discussions on broadband and IP signaling to an examination of ADSL and optical transmission, this book reveals the path beyond conventional telephone and ISDN lines and guides you in planning the evolution of ATM and IP networks. It covers mature ATM, SONET/SDH and IP technologies, more recent ADSL and VB5 technology, and future optical and WDM technology as applied to ATM PONs and IP. Over 200 illustrations help to clarify key concepts. Alex Gillespie holds a masters in Theoretical Physics from Cambridge University and a Ph.D. in Particle Physics from Durham University. Since 1988, he has been with BT and has edited several international standards. He is the chairman of the Access and Switch Management group in ETSI and has been a guest editor of special issues of major communications magazines. |
