Fiber optics and the telecommunications explosion

In this book, leading telecommunications consultant Norma Thorsen explains fiber optics in language that everyone can understand: discover how fiber optics works, and how fiber networks are constructed; understand today’s fiber-driven communications marketplace; and preview the revolutionary new generation of fiber-based applications. Fiber optics is changing the way you do business, the way you entertain yourself, the way you live. It’s enabling remarkable new opportunities for profit, learning, health – even human relationships. Discover what it all means, with the first insider’s guide written for non-experts.

The majority of publications on this subject are highly technical texts, but this one skips the technical jargon and detail. Designed for managers or non-technical persons who need a good overview, this text introduces fiber optics, related technologies and current applications. Author Norma Thorsen has achieved the difficult goal of explaining a technical subject in a clear, lucid and jargon-free style.
