Mobile communications is an exciting industry which is full of high-tech terminologies and buzzwords. People in the industry use terms like 3G, 4G, LTE, HSPA, HSPA+, etc. very often but it is not clear for everyone as to what these words really represent. In today's market when it is very common for people to work internationally, having an unclear view of the basic terminologies can lead to misunderstandings. For example, 3G could mean CDMA2000 to someone from the United States, but it may mean UMTS (based on W-CDMA) to someone in Europe. It is especially confusing for those who are relatively new to the industry such as students or new graduates. Why this book?The intention of this book is to save time for those looking for professional information quickly. It means that you don't have to read hundreds of pages to develop a basic understanding of mobile communications. It is written by someone who has already spent a lot of time reading hundreds (or thousands) of pages of academic and professional documentation whilst working full-time in the industry just to come to a simple conclusion: "I wish someone had explained it in fewer words". Hopefully, the ~24 pages of this book give you the basic understanding that you need before diving into the details of mobile communications technologies. The specific aim of this book is to provide a basic understanding of the main technologies used for enabling mobile cellular communications:1GAMPS2G GSMD-AMPSIS-95GPRSEDGE3G UMTSCDMA2000HSPAHSPA+EVDO4GLTE

From the people who work exclusively from home to the 'portable' manager with no fixed site, the need to communicate is paramount. Mike Johnson's candid appraisal of teleworking, or telecommuting as it is also known, looks at the key benefits: for the individual it provides the opportunity to work from home; for the company it provides major savings on costs. The down side is the lack of human contact and the anxiety of employees who work away from the centre of things. The ...in brief books provide a critical 'snapshot' of the major management fashions and fads influencing business strategy. They cut through the consultants' jargon and steer a practical, common sense course through the theory and hype. They provide managers with a balanced view based on evidence rather than missionary zeal, so that they can be better informed.

Laurence Mussio examines how federal and provincial public policy tried to keep pace with the diffusion of telecommunications, consumer demand, and a rising tide of technological innovation. Telecommunications regulation struggled to maintain a balance between producer and consumer in an increasingly complex field and policy makers were compelled to defend the national interest in international telecommunications arrangements or by making far-reaching decisions about transcontinental microwave systems and satellites. By the late 1960s national policy makers had embraced the arrival of the computer - especially once it began to be wired into Canada's communications infrastructure. Telecom Nation explores the impact of the computer on government policy and the first attempts to build a "national computer utility" - the beginnings of the Internet - twenty-five years before it became a reality. Based primarily on the rich and largely untapped sources at the National Archives of Canada, Cabinet records, provincial archives, and private sector repositories, Telecom Nation provides an essential background to contemporary public policy issues by examining how governments reconciled technological change, private enterprise, consumer demand, and the public good in communications. It will be required reading for students and specialists interested in telecommunications, public policy, and technological change.
