Description
This book is an authoritative review of current and future trends in the field of telecommunications. Written by industry experts who
are developing leading-edge data communication networks, Fiber Optic Data Communication provides professionals and students
alike with a look at emerging technologies and their applications. Four of the chapters have been revised from DeCusatis's best-selling
book, Handbook of Fiber Optic Data Communications; the remaining eight chapters are all new. Seven helpful appendices,
a glossary, and a list of technical acronyms are included. This book can stand alone or as a companion volume to DeCusatis: Handbook
of Fiber Optic Data Communication, Second Edition (February 2002, ISBN: 0-12-207891-8).
Audience
The book is directed towards professionals working in the field as a desktop reference (P) or as a guide to designing and manufacturing
equipment and planning optical networks (P), and technology managers or planners who want an understanding of how these products work
together (P). It is also suitable for technical professionals with a related background who are crossing over from another field (S),
undergraduate or graduate students in this field (S), or professors or university research scientists (S)
