Cisco Unified Presence Fundamentals provides an excellent overview.

Technician’s Guide to Fiber Optics

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:16:44 +0000

There are a lot of good books on the subject of fiber optics. The vast majority of them are highly technical and written by and for engineers or physicists. When it comes to books written for technicians the pickings are slim.

The Power of IP Video: Unleashing Productivity with Visual Networking

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:59:44 +0000

Videoconferencing is one of the most rapidly developing technologies and certainly an attractive and compelling network application. The benefits include enhanced communications and collaboration, increased productivity, reduced travel and associated costs, and shortened time to decision.

Passive Optical Networks: Principles and Practice

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:47:18 +0000

Passive Optical Network (PON) network access technology was the subject of intense research for more than a decade before it finally emerged from the labs in 1998 in the form of a set of physical layer specifications for an ATM-based PON. That first specification was ratified by the ITU-T within the G.983.1 standard.

MPLS-Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:30:59 +0000

This book appears to contain everything you could possibly want to know about Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) operations, signaling and management, excepting perhaps the individual bits in packet and label headers. There is so much here that it's a good place to start a major study of the topic. Master this book and nobody will be able to bluff you when the talk turns techy.

Global IPv6 Strategies: From Business Analysis to Operational Planning

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:26:31 +0000

The case for IPv6 is compelling, including increased address space, ease of autoconfiguration and tight integration of mobility options. As IP networks evolve there is no doubt it eventually will replace IPv4. In fact many Asian nations are deploying it now, in large part to alleviate pressure on v4 address space caused by explosive growth of their mobile wireless networks.

Fixed Mobile Convergence

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:19:00 +0000

There is a lot of buzz around fixed mobile convergence (FMC) these days. As is often the case with a hot new concept, tens if not hundreds of industry experts have written many thousands if not a few million words on the subject, explaining the fundamentals and elaborating on the nuances.

Fiber-Optic Systems for Telecommunications

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:08:06 +0000

Densely written, this volume evenly balances the theory with the practice. The first half gets deep into the technical details, from the physical construction of fibers and couplers to the light signaling formats and and data frames that carry information. The second half looks at the practical aspects, with a thorough chapter on computing the power budget and optimal input power for an optical link.
