A Quick Guide to Optical Networks Debra Cameron gives us a nice snapshot of the state of the art in "Optical Networking". It's a quick primer for the IT manager, telecom sales agent, networking students and anyone else who needs to know what's going on in the fast moving world of fiber optics.What I like best about this book is how it covers the gamut of optical networking topics from what is driving the need for bandwidth to advantages and disadvantages of various protocols, to discussion of the carriers that are in this business. There's even a section on fiber to the home (. A Customer said Real World Application. I appreciated this book because it provides useful information that I can use to evaluate questions that my business deals with everyday. The case studies discuss real-world practical and cost benefits gained by installing fiber over other last mile solutions (like DSL, fixed wireless, and cable). It also provides insights into the most promising uses for optical networks, such as municiple fiber, converged telecom networks, fiber to the home, and enterprise networks. A must for understanding fiber optics today.. A Tech Guide for Non-Techies A Customer As a professional working on the non-technical side of the fiber optics business, I found this guide very accessible and helpful. The book gives a practical, non-technical breakdown of optical networks. The technology tutorials on optical components, network architectures, and installation issues provided a good overview without being overly detailed. A great book for anyone selling, manufacturing or installing fiber optics.
A strategic guide to the practical business applications of optical networking technologies Optical Networking A Wiley Tech Brief Optical networks are spreading outward from Internet backbones to cities to corporations and even to the home. In this book, the real-world applications driving optical networking deployments are explored. The ever-expanding need for bandwidth can only be met by optical networks and their phenomenal data capacity. This book provides practical information, insight, and case studies about the business benefits and broad range of optical networking technologies and applications available today, including: * Optical internets that run IP directly over fiber without intervening layers of ATM and SONET * Municipal optical networks and their ability to transform local economies * Corporate optical networking deployments, from LAN to WAN to Internet connections * Gigabit Ethernet and bandwidth on demand * Fiber to the home-and why pseudobroadband alternatives such as DSL and cable modems are inadequate * Why wireless is not an alternative to fiber Wiley Tech Briefs Focused on the needs of the corporate IT and business manager, the Tech Briefs series provides in-depth information on new or emerging technologies, solutions, and vendor offerings available in the marketplace. Cities are in a s
