Telecommunication Switching Systems And Networks is a comprehensive text which covers topics related to both telecommunication networks and switching systems. Summary Of The Book Telecommunication Switching Systems And Networks is an invaluable text for both final year undergraduates and postgraduate students in their first year, as well as telecommunication professionals. The text provides a thorough coverage of topics such as switching systems related to time division, ISDN, voice data-integration, and fibre optic systems. Students can also expect a detailed look into telecommunication engineering. This text places an emphasis on the practical aspects of telecommunication engineering and discusses at length its system level treatment. It is organized into 11 chapters. Following the Introduction, the chapters covered in the text are Crossbar Switching, Stronger Switching Systems, Speech Digitisation and Transmission, Electronic Space Division Switching, Optical Fibre Systems, Time Division Switching, Telephone Networks, Traffic Engineering, Integrated Services Digital Network and Data Networks. Telecommunication Switching Systems And Networks begins with a brief discussion on how the telecommunication area has evolved up to the present day. The text then provides an introduction to the components of a switching system including its classification scheme. This is followed by a coverage of fundamental topics in network structures. A notable feature of this text is that it gives a thorough discussion of various telecommunication networks such as Public Data Network (PDN), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), and Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Each chapter contains numerous examples, exercises, and suggestions for Further Reading. Telecommunication Switching Systems And Networks was published in 2010.
