Telecom, Datacom and Networking for Non-Engineers: CTNS Study Guide & Companion Reference Textbook
CTNS Study Guide and Companion Reference Textbook.
Teracom’s textbook T4210 Telecom, Datacom and Networking for Non-Engineers is the study guide and companion reference textbook for the TCO Certified Telecommunications Network Specialist (CTNS) telecommunications certification.
It is an ideal companion while taking the courses, and an invaluable day-to-day reference after.
Telecom, Datacom and Networking for Non-Engineers can also be used for self-study. It delivers the core knowledge needed in telecommunications today: fundamental concepts and jargon, the PSTN, wireless telecommunications, the OSI model and Layers, Ethernet, IP packets, IP addresses, networks and routers, MPLS, carrier networks and carrier services.
Designed for those without an Engineering degree in telecommunications, our goal is to explain telecom and networks in plain English: the jargon, buzzwords, mainstream technologies and services, standard practices, and most importantly, the underlying ideas… and how it all fits together.
This invaluable reference book and study guide contains all of the text and the main graphic from every lesson in all six of Teracom’s online CTNS telecommunications certification courses. The online courses are interactive and rich with photos, images and animated graphics, plus a voiceover. This is the textbook.
