MOBILE NETWORKS MADE EASY: A simplified view of mobile networks for professional audience

by Commsbrief Limited

Mobile cellular networks can be hard to understand especially for those who are new to the industry. Even if you are not that new, the nature of this high-tech industry can pose new challenges for you every now and then. The one thing that we all do when presented with such challenges is to go online and do some research. Interestingly, the problem that we usually come across is not the lack of information but actually the abundance of information. There is so much information available online that it becomes really hard to cut to the chase especially if you don’t have a lot of time to do the research. Why this book?The intention of this book is to save time for those looking for professional information quickly. It means that you don't have to read hundreds of pages to develop a basic understanding of mobile networks. It is written by someone who already has spent a lot of time reading hundreds (or thousands) of pages of academic and professional documentation whilst working full-time in the industry just to come to this "I wish someone had explained it in a simpler and quicker way". Hopefully, the ~50 pages of this book give you the core understanding that you must develop before getting into the details of mobile networks. This book is mainly for those new and prospective telecom professionals who would like to develop industry-specific understanding of the mobile networks. It can also be used by young graduates or students ahead of a job or apprenticeship interview.
