Broadband 101 is ideal for anyone needing a book covering all major topics in broadband telecommunications, IP and networking... in plain English. In one book, you get consistency, completeness and unbeatable value: a wealth of clear, concise, organized knowledge, impossible to find in one place anywhere else! Our approach can be summed up with a simple philosophy: Start at the beginning. Progress in a logical order. Build one concept on top of another. Finish at the end. Avoid jargon. Speak in plain English. Bust the buzzwords, demystify jargon, and cut through doubletalk. Fill in the gaps, build a solid base of knowledge, put a structure in place and show how everything fits together... knowledge and understanding that lasts a lifetime. Broadband 101 is designed for the non-engineering professional needing an overview and update of the modern broadband converged IP telecom network, and for those new to the business needing to get up to speed quickly. Broadband 101 is a subset of the larger volume Telecom 101, focusing on the broadband IP telecom network while skipping topics associated with the legacy PSTN. From first principles to MPLS VPNs, ISPs to cloud computing, radio fundamentals to 5G, we’ll explain the jargon, the technologies, and more importantly, the underlying ideas, without bogging down on legacy technologies. Based on training courses developed, refined and tuned over many years, the selection of material, its order and emphasis in Broadband 101 is proven and field-tested to bring you the knowledge you need. Understanding what everything does and how it all works together allows you to be more accurate, eliminates frustration with buzzwords, and gives you confidence to make meaningful contributions. Don't be left out in the cold! You have the added advantage of knowing what someone is talking about, even if you’re not familiar with the exact details of the variation they’re discussing.

The detailed Table of Contents makes it also useful as a day-to-day reference handbook. Looking at the table of contents, you’ll see that many chapters of Broadband 101 are like self-contained reference books on specific topics, like Introduction and Overview of the Broadband IP Telecom Network , Telecom Fundamentals, Network Fundamentals, Wireless, Fiber, VoIP, IP, LANs and MPLS. You get all of these topics bound in one volume for one low price. Compare this to hunting down and paying for multiple books by different authors that may or may not cover what you need to know- and you'll agree this is a very attractive deal. Get your copy today!

This book is the most up-to-date publication on photodiagnostic and phototherapeutic methods used in dermatology. Edited by international experts in the field, it offers comprehensive information on every aspect of Photodiagnostics and Phototherapy. The book focuses on the clinical aspects: detailed descriptions of photo- and photochemotherapy for the treatment of selected diseases as well as standardized test protocols for photodermatoses and for the diagnosis of skin tumors are presented. The clinically oriented chapters are supplemented by practical guidelines for phototherapy and information about basic principles of photobiology.

An authoritative introduction to the roles of switching and transmission in broadband integrated services networks Principles of Broadband Switching and Networking explains the design and analysis of switch architectures suitable for broadband integrated services networks, emphasizing packet-switched interconnection networks with distributed routing algorithms. The text examines the mathematical properties of these networks, rather than specific implementation technologies. Although the pedagogical explanations in this book are in the context of switches, many of the fundamental principles are relevant to other communication networks with regular topologies. After explaining the concept of the modern broadband integrated services network and why it is necessary in today’s society, the book moves on to basic switch design principles, discussing two types of circuit switch design—space domain and time domain—and packet switch design. Throughput improvements are illustrated by some switch design variations such as Speedup principle, Channel-Grouping principle, Knockout principle, and Dilation principle. Moving seamlessly into advanced switch design principles, the book covers switch scalability, switch design for multicasting, and path switching. Then the focus moves to broadband communications networks that make use of such switches. Readers receive a detailed introduction on how to allocate network resources and control traffic to satisfy the quality of service requirements of network users and to maximize network usage. As an epilogue, the text shows how transmission noise and packet contention have similar characteristics and can be tamed by comparable means to achieve reliable communication. Principles of Broadband Switching and Networking is written for senior undergraduate and first-year postgraduate students with a solid background in probability theory.

This analysis of how the ability to participate in society online affects political and economic opportunity finds that technology use matters in wages and income and civic participation and voting.
