Description
LAN strategies, solutions, standards and options - all pulled together in one quick-reference deskbook!
Whether your goal is to improve office communications or to automate the factory floor, to interconnect systems on a single site or thousands of miles apart, Handbook of Local Area Networks can help you design and manage LANs that meet your organization's business objectives. Written by over 50 leading communications experts, the Handbook gives you objective, practical information you need to make sense of today's staggering array of LAN technologies - including LAN hardware and software, wiring media, standards and interconnections.
You'll uncover the strengths and weaknesses of these technologies, learn what applications they're best suited for, find out how much they cost to install and maintain, and much more. You get planning strategies and "how-to" tactics from top industry experts.
Handbook of Local Area Networks is much more than a review of the most important LAN technologies. You also get strategic guidance for planning, designing and managing LANs that are right for your business now - and flexible enough to meet future needs. Not to mention all the tactical help you need to put your plans into action.
