Preface

The focus of this revised and updated edition is on the ongoing wireless revolution that is sweeping the telecommunication scene across the world. The book describes the emergence of ever-new wireless technologies, convergence of the telecommunications and the Internet, and the increasing availability of multimedia services.

The book is organised into seven parts. Part I is on the wired origins: the invention and development of the telegraph and the telephone. Part II provides an essential background of the technological innovations that have transformed the nature of telecommunications. Part III describes the wired world, with special attention on optical fibres that have recently made considerable progress.

Part IV begins with the discovery of radio waves, the development of microwave and satellite links, international and national, including the INSAT system.

Part V starts with a background on the Internet, which provides the basis for wireless links, and goes on to describe the emerging broadband services, major wireless networks, the working of cell phones, and the technological progress of three generations of mobile phones. This Part highlights the latest trends in the access to the Internet, called Wi-Fi and Wi-MAX, which can play a key role in providing not only voice but Internet-based services in India's urban as well as rural areas. The story then traces the contours of the ongoing multimedia convergence.
