Telecom Basics: Signal Processing, Signaling Control, and Call Processing, Third Edition

<p>This book explains the fundamentals of cable television systems, the equipment they use, what services they can offer, and how cable television fits and compares with other broadcast technologies. Cable television (CATV) is a television distribution system that uses a network of cables to deliver multiple video, data, and audio channels. This book provides an overview of cable television system technology including cable modems, digital television, high definition television (HDTV), along with how cable systems are evolving to offer advanced services such as ultra broadband and video on demand (VOD). Described are the basic parts of cable television systems including set top boxes, cable modems, distribution systems, and head end equipment. Analog and digital video technology fundamentals are provided including the different types of analog video (NTSC, PAL, and SECAM) and the key types of digital video compression (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and VC-1). You will discover why and how cable system operators are converting some of their networks from analog to digital to give more channel capacity and to provide for broadband Internet (cable modem) services. Described are the fundamentals of the data over cable service interface specifications (DOCSIS) and what each revision of DOCSIS provides to cable system operators. Explained are the different types of subscription services and value added pay per view (PPV) services including near video on demand (NVOD), video on demand (VOD), and personal video recorders (PVRs). You will learn how cable systems can upgraded to offer telephone services and why cable operators are transitioning from proprietary telephone systems to industry standard voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) systems. MMDS and LMDS wireless cable technology is described along with how cable operators can efficiently use these wireless systems to extend the range of their cable systems. The future of cable television is discussed including advances in interactive television and addressable advertising. Some of the most important topics featured in this book are: . Components and operation of CATV systems . Differences between analog and digital CATV systems . NTSC, PAL, and HDTV television signals . Video and audio compression . Cable modems using DOCSIS . MPEG digital formats . Video on demand (VOD) . Cable telephony . MMDS and LMDS wireless cable . How CATV is evolving into IPTV</p>

Introduction to SIP IP Telephony Systems: Technology Basics, Services, Economics, and Installation 2nd Edition

<p>This book explains how telecommunications systems and services work and the markets associated with them. Telecommunications technology and services are continually changing. Descriptions and easy to understand diagrams of typical systems and their interconnections are provided for local exchange company (LEC), inter-exchange company (IXC), private telephone exchanges (PBX), computer networks (LANs), data networks (e.g. Internet), billing and customer care systems (BCC). The book starts with a basic introduction to telecom communication. It covers the different types of telecom industries, who controls and regulates them, and provides a basic definition of each of the major telecom technologies. A broad overview of the telecom voice, data, and multimedia applications is provided. You will discover the fundamentals of telecom transmission and switching technologies and their terminology. The basics of public telephone systems are provided along with the structure and operation of local exchange carrier (LEC) systems. Described are the different types of analog loop, digital loop, switches, multi-channel communication lines and signaling control systems. The different types of private telephone systems and their evolution are covered. Included is the basic operation, attributes and services for key telephone systems (KTS), central exchange (CENTREX) systems, private branch exchange (PBX) and computer telephony integration (CTI). You will learn how these systems are converting from fixed proprietary systems to flexible industry standard systems. This book covers how digital subscriber lines (DSL) are important to telephone operators, what services it can offer, and the installation options. You will discover the different types of DSL including HDSL, ADSL, SDSL, VDSL, and the new ADSL2+ systems. The different types of wireless systems are explained including cellular and personal communication services (PCS), broadcast radio and television, paging, wireless data, land mobile radio (LMR), aircraft telephones, satellite, wireless PBX, residential cordless, wireless local area networks (WLAN), short range data (piconets,) wireless cable, wireless broadband (WiMax), wireless local loops (WLL), and 1st, 2nd, 2.5, and third generation wireless (3G). IP Telephony services and systems are described and explained. You will learn about IP private branch exchange (IP PBX) and IP Centrex managed IP telephone services and will discover how Internet telephone service providers (ITSPs) can provide high-quality telephone services over unmanaged broadband communication systems. You will discover how the high data transmission bandwidth available from broadband connections (such as DSL service) is being used to provide digital television service to customers (IPTV). Find out how the use of an IP television set top box (IP STB) will allow customers to select from thousands of television channels available through their telephone line and watch them on their standard television. Telecom billing provides the fundamentals for telecom billing and customer care (BCC) systems. The topics that are explained include: types of services, standard billing processes, real time billing, multilingual support, multiple currencies, inter-carrier settlements, event sources and tracking, mediation devices, call detail records (CDRs), call processing, cycle billing, clearinghouse, invoicing, management reporting, processing payments. Some of the most important topics featured are: . Telecom Applications and Services . Basic Communication Technology . Public Telephone Networks (PSTN) . KTS, PBX, and CTI Private Telephone Systems . Data Communication Networks . IP Telephony Overview</p>

This book provides an introduction to the different types of private telephone systems, how they operate and common call processing features they offer. Private telephone systems are communication equipment and software that are owned, leased or operated by the companies that use these systems. Private telephone systems are converting from company unique (proprietary) circuit switched systems to industry standard packet data voice (IP Telephony) systems. You will learn the basics of IP Telephony voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) and why it is so important to private telephone systems. The fundamental parts of private telephone systems are described including telephone stations, local wiring, switching systems, and numbering plans are described and explained. The high growth market for private telephone systems and the key trends are covered providing you with an understanding of which system types are growing the fastest and how some systems are evolving to better compete in the industry. Covered are the different types of private telephone systems. You will discover how multiline key telephone systems (KTS) operate and why they are converting from mechanical systems to automated electronic controlled networks. You will learn how automatic switching systems are used by private branch exchange (PBX) systems to provide features and services not offered by public telephone companies. This Book Provides: • Types of private telephone systems • Key telephone systems (KTS) • Private branch exchange (PBX) • Hosted PBX/IP Centrex • Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) • IP PBX (IPBX) • Wireless PBX (WPBX) • Interconnections to PSTN • Voice Mail (VM) • Interactive Voice Response (IVR) • Automatic call distribution (ACD) • How private telephony is evolving
