Understand the principles and practical basis of global telecommunications and data communications networks with this essential text Our increasingly connected world is more reliant than ever on data transport and the communication networking technologies of the moment. Ever-expanding wireless communications and the Internet of Things have brought connectivity into more areas of our lives than ever before. Virtually every workplace and industry is now reliant at some level on data transfer. Principles of Data Transfer through Communications Networks, the Internet, and Autonomous Mobiles offers a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the principles and methods of computer communications and mobile wireless network systems. It's designed to equip a vast range of students and professionals with the necessary toolkit to manage data flows between and across network systems at various scales. Drawing upon decades of teaching and practical experience, it's a must-own resource for anyone looking to understand the core mechanics that power our world of mass communications. Readers will also find: Coverage of cutting-edge technologies such as autonomous vehicular highways that draw upon novel communications technologies Detailed discussion of design and performance behavior for major communication networking technologies Treatment designed for readers with no prior knowledge of computer science or programming Principles of Data Transfer through Communications Networks, the Internet, and Autonomous Mobiles is ideal for students in data communications, telecommunications and wireless networking technology courses, as well as professionals working in data communications industries or those who make use of data transfer communications networks as part of their work.
