This book explores both the technology and marketing decision-making in a world-wide industry where product purchasers represent long-term decisions and where the rate of change of the technology has been incredibly rapid. The context in which switching systems were developed and deployed is sometimes as important as system descriptions. The reader should consider the contents of this book as a whole and not just as a reference to a specific system of interest. The book deals essentially with the mainstream switching systems required for the public network. It does not cover the history of swi

Optical Switching Networks describes all the major switching paradigms developed for modern optical networks, discussing their operation, advantages, disadvantages and implementation. Following a review of the evolution of optical WDM networks, an overview of the future trends out. The latest developments in optical access, local, metropolitan, and wide area networks are covered, including detailed technical descriptions of generalized multiprotocol label switching, waveband switching, photonic slot routing, optical flow, burst and packet switching. The convergence of optical and wireless acce

More and more businesses today have their receive phone service through Internet instead of local phone company lines. Many businesses are also using their internal local and wide-area network infrastructure to replace legacy enterprise telephone networks. This migration to a single network carrying voice and data is called convergence, and it’s revolutionizing the world of telecommunications by slashing costs and empowering users. The technology of families driving this convergence is called VoIP, or Voice over IP. VoIP has advanced Internet-based telephony to a viable solution, piquing
