A Beginner's Guide to Technical Communication is designed to help the student learn how to think through, organize, write, and revise assignments for his or her Freshmen Engineering class, or for any other course that requires scientific or technical reports. All of the examples are patterned on actual witting done in first-year engineering classes. This book has three parts: chapters to read before you write; chapters to read while you write; and chapters to read after you write .

Telecommunications Engineer's Reference Book maintains a balance between developments and established technology in telecommunications. This book consists of four parts. Part 1 introduces mathematical techniques that are required for the analysis of telecommunication systems. The physical environment of telecommunications and basic principles such as the teletraffic theory, electromagnetic waves, optics and vision, ionosphere and troposphere, and signals and noise are described in Part 2. Part 3 covers the political and regulatory environment of the telecommunications industry, telecommunication standards, open system interconnect reference model, multiple access techniques, and network management. The last part deliberates telecommunication applications that includes synchronous digital hierarchy, asynchronous transfer mode, integrated services digital network, switching systems, centrex, and call management. This publication is intended for practicing engineers, and as a supplementary text for undergraduate courses in telecommunications.

Buy the Paperback version of this book, and get the Kindle eBook version included for FREE Are you a student or a professional who is keen to learn about computer networks? Are you fascinated by the world of computers and every other system that is responsible for the efficient operation of such a wonderful human invention? When you deal with computers on a daily basis, you should be aware of the backbone which supports this incredible invention. The truth is: Computers and technology rule the world today and most of us are not aware of the network that is responsible for their efficient operation. A computer network is the interconnection of various devices, responsible for sending or receiving media or data. These devices are known as hosts and are connected using a number of paths. There are also other network devices like, routers, hubs, bridges and switches which are responsible for the communication between two different devices. The layout pattern which is used to interconnect the devices is known as the network topology like star, mesh, bus, ring, daisy chain etc. Local Area Network or LAN is a data connection network which connects various computers or terminals within a building or a small geographical area. Again, WAN stands for Wide Area Network. It is a telecommunications network which expands through a wide geographical area.

Security Smarts for the Self-Guided IT Professional Protect wireless networks against all real-world hacks by learning how hackers operate. Wireless Network Security: A Beginner's Guide discusses the many attack vectors that target wireless networks and clients--and explains how to identify and prevent them. Actual cases of attacks against WEP, WPA, and wireless clients and their defenses are included. This practical resource reveals how intruders exploit vulnerabilities and gain access to wireless networks. You'll learn how to securely deploy WPA2 wireless networks, including WPA2-Enterprise using digital certificates for authentication. The book provides techniques for dealing with wireless guest access and rogue access points. Next-generation wireless networking technologies, such as lightweight access points and cloud-based wireless solutions, are also discussed. Templates, checklists, and examples give you the hands-on help you need to get started right away. Wireless Network Security: A Beginner's Guide features: Lingo--Common security terms defined so that you’re in the know on the job IMHO--Frank and relevant opinions based on the author's years of industry experience In Actual Practice--Exceptions to the rules of security explained in real-world contexts Your Plan--Customizable checklists you can use on the job now Into Action--Tips on how, why, and when to apply new skills and techniques at work This is an excellent introduction to wireless security and their security implications. The technologies and tools are clearly presented with copious illustrations and the level of presentation will accommodate the wireless security neophyte while not boring a mid-level expert to tears. If the reader invests the time and resources in building a lab to follow along with the text, s/he will develop a solid, basic understanding of what "wireless security" is and how it can be implemented in practice. This is definitely a recommended read for its intended audience. - Richard Austin, IEEE CIPHER, IEEE Computer Society's TC on Security and Privacy (E109, July 23, 2012)
