{"product_id":"network-convergence","title":"Network Convergence","description":"The present information age is enabled by telecommunications and information technology and the continued convergence of their services, technologies and business models. Within telecommunications, the historic separations between fixed networks, mobile telephone networks and data communications are diminishing. Similarly, information technology and enterprise communications show convergence with telecommunications. These synergies are captured in the concept of Next Generation Networks that result from evolution to new technologies, enabling new services and applications.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNetwork Convergence\u003c\/i\u003e creates a framework to aid the understanding of Next Generation Networks, their potential for supporting new and enhanced applications and their relationships with legacy networks. The book identifies and explains the concepts and principles underlying standards for networks, services and applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNetwork Convergence:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives comprehensive coverage of packet multimedia, enterprise networks, third generation mobile communications, OSA\/Parlay and developments in fixed networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives an integrated view of diverse information and communications systems and technology through a common NGN Framework.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelves into protocols, APIs and software processes for supporting services and applications in advanced networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses a variety of applications of telecommunications supporting IT and IT enhanced by communications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows developments in operations support systems standards and links these to next generation networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a wealth of examples, use cases, tables and illustrations that help reinforce the material for students and practitioners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures an accompanying website with PowerPoint presentations, glossary, web references, tutorial problems, and 'learn more' pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis essential reference guide will prove invaluable to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, academics and researchers.
