À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The scope, clarity, and readability of the latest edition of this widely used book make data communications accessible to the novice and yet at the same time challenging enough for the engineer or technical professional. By drawing on practical examples to explain technical concepts, this book demystifies data communications. It introduces the language of data communications, making the reader literate in relevant terminology, concepts, hardware, software, protocols, and architectures. The text begins with a thorough introduction to telecommunications. It then progresses logically from basic concepts to transmission and interface standards, data integrity, security, architectures, protocols, and networking. The third edition concludes with perspectives on current and future trends in digital telecommunications.
