[comp.dcom.telecom] Books on Telephony

de@RUTGERS.EDU (Dave Esan) (01/29/88)

I was recently sitting through a sales meeting listening to people discuss
T1 or E5 ESS (or some such).  I also head that there are Universities that
offer courses in telecommunications.

My question is twofold:

1. Which universities?
2. Does anyone have books that they can recommend on the subject?  I have
   been working on Telephone Cost Management Systems for 4 1/2 years, but
   find the lack of knowledge about the telephone system capabilities 
   frightening.

Thanks.

Believe it or not...
Radio's Hack sells book called
'Understanding Telephone Electronics' or such.
In my many years involved on the fringes of the field, I had
never seen a book that described telephones so an EE could
understand them. This one does.
No: swinging trouble, reverse battery or open pairs
It talks in ordinary, everyday electronics terms that the *real*
world uses everyday. For $3.95, it cannot be beat.

There are a number of good recent books on Telephony.  For a business school 
course I am
using  "BUSINESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS" published by Irwin.

See also "Understanding Modern Telecommunications" published by McGraw Hill 

and Telecommunications for Managemetn also by McGraw Hill

"Data Communication Fundamentals and Applications" is also not bad, published 
by Merrill.
