Providing a Practical Understanding of Fiber Optics as a Physical Medium, Sorting Out Single-Mode versus Multi-Mode and the Crucial Concept of Dense Wave-Division Multiplexing.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c46971) has announced the addition of Optical Networking Best Practices Handbook to their offering. Optical Networking Best Practices Handbook presents optical networking in a very comprehensive way for non-engineers needing to understand the fundamentals of fiber, high-capacity and high-speed equipment and networks, and upcoming carrier services. The book provides a practical understanding of fiber optics as a physical medium, sorting out single-mode versus multi-mode and the crucial concept of Dense Wave-Division Multiplexing. It covers the big picture with an understanding of SONET rings and how carriers build fiber networks; reviews broadband equipment like optical routers, wavelength cross-connects, DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary and cable and brings everything together with practical case studies/projects. The goal of the book is to explain the underlying concepts, demystify buzzwords and jargon, and put in place a practical understanding of technologies and mainstream solutions without getting bogged down in details.
