Synopsis

This is a business dictionary of 33,889 defined technology terms -- covering the latest in telecommunications, computing, the Internet, the Internet of Things, networking and social media. It's a complete dictionary/encyclopedia of today's information technology. It is used by everyone from salesmen to lawyers, from corporate trainers to college educators, from corporate users to engineers. It is set as a required textbook in colleges teaching telecommunications and information technology. This massive 1510-page book covers everything in voice, data, images, mobile apps and video. The book is written for businesspeople in non-technical language.

Newton and his team expand and update the dictionary every day of the year, which makes it about as up to date as you can get. No other dictionary/encyclopedia is updated as regularly as this one is. This is the 32st edition. No other dictionary in the entire history of publishing has gone through this many editions -- each one improved, expanded and updated. There are 11.5% more definitions (3,506) in this 32nd edition. This is the biggest update ever.

Several reviewers (and customers) refer to Newton's Telecom Dictionary as the industry "bible." Originally just telecommunications, it now covers computing, networking, information technology and all the newer allied technology fields.

A feature of the dictionary is that many of the definitions are not just an explanation of the technology, but also a primer on how the technology is used and Do's and Dont's about using the technology. There are tips from the authors' personal experience. What works and what doesn't. What to watch out for. The dictionary is very practical and easy to read.

This new edition also covers Telecommunications, The Internet, Fiber, The Cloud, Wireless Transmission, Voice, Data, Video, Networking, Satellites, Mobile and Cybersecurity.
