Introduction to Communications Technologies: A Guide for Non-Engineers

Most textbooks on this subject focus heavily on the mathematical perspective of communication. Today's managers do not need to know how to figure out the quantization process of an analog sample, they simply need to understand how the theory works-in plain English. Introduction to Communications Technologies: A Guide for Non-Engineers is a quick-read tutorial on telecommunications and network technologies for graduate and undergraduate students in management information systems and telecommunications management courses.

While dealing with the engineering aspects of communication, the book provides a basic understanding of how things work, not how to design systems. Topics include systems, electricity, signaling, telephony, switching, wireless, CTI, and video. It also explains the important relationship between the two major languages spoken in the industry, voice and data, something not done in other texts. The material covered is the same as that presented in a graduate-level core technical course at one of the most respected Information and Communication Services programs in the country.

Students will not need a technical background in order to gain the valuable knowledge that lies within these pages. Designed to provide students with a foundation of knowledge that will serve them well into their careers, Introduction to Communications Technologies: A Guide for Non-Engineers provides students with the tools necessary to become effective leaders of technology professionals.

大多數關於這個主題的教科書都非常注重通信的數學觀點。如今的管理者不需要知道如何計算類比樣本的量化過程，他們只需要用簡單的英語理解理論如何運作。《通信技術入門：非工程師指南》是一本針對管理資訊系統和電信管理課程的研究生和本科生的電信和網絡技術的快速閱讀教程。

雖然涉及通信的工程方面，但本書提供了基本的工作原理理解，而不是系統設計方法。主題包括系統、電力、信號、電話、交換、無線、CTI和視頻。它還解釋了行業中兩種主要語言之間的重要關係，即語音和數據，這是其他教材所沒有做到的。所涵蓋的內容與該國最受尊敬的信息和通信服務項目之一的研究生核心技術課程相同。

學生們不需要具備技術背景，就能獲得這些頁面中寶貴的知識。《通信技術入門：非工程師指南》旨在為學生提供一個基礎知識，使他們在職業生涯中受益匪淺，並為成為技術專業人員的有效領導者提供必要的工具。
