Summary:

Written by a leading expert in the field, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts of transport and data networks. This resource examines backbone network architectures and functions. The evolution, key components, and techniques of telecommunication networks are presented, including voice and data transmission, fiber optic communication and optical link design. This book explores the photonic network architecture and includes chapters on transport networks, synchronous optical networks, optical transport networks, and dense wavelength division multiplexing. Professionals are brought up-to-speed with the applications and architecture of next generation photonic networks, and are provided with references for all applicable standards. This book offers insight into reality technologies, including virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed relativity, and telecommunication infrastructure challenges. Details on the photonic circuit switched network architecture and photonic packet switched core network are presented. The book concludes with a full treatment of the virtualization and software defined networking ecosystem as well as a discussion on future developments.
