We'll bust buzzwords, demystify jargon, and cut through doubletalk. You'll fill in gaps, build a solid, structured base of knowledge and learn how everything fits together... knowledge and understanding that lasts a lifetime.

Tested, Refined and Proven Content

Combining three workbooks formatted into a standard 7” x 9” softcover textbook with high-quality paper, a laminated cover and professional binding, 400 pages, over 177 diagrams and a full index, the Telecom 101 book has three parts:

• Fundamentals of Telecommunications,
• Understanding Data Communications and
• Understanding IP and Networking,

with the same content as the course workbooks for our three-day core training Course 101 Telecom, Datacom and Networking for Non-Engineering Professionals, plus additional bonus sections.

This content, tuned and refined over the course of eighteen years, has been taught to thousands of people needing to build a solid, structured understanding of telecom, datacom, IP and networking.

A high percentage of seminar attendees specifically praise the course materials on seminar evaluations – materials now available in softcover textbook format in Telecom 101.

An Invaluable Reference

This telecom book and networking book covers telecom, datacom and networking from A-Z, organized in logical chapters covering all major topics, and written in our signature "telecom for Non-Engineering Professionals" style. It will be an invaluable day-to-day handbook, either on its own, or to complement instructor and DVD video training.

•	As a companion to instructor-led training, Telecom 101 allows you to study before attending Course 101 or fill in gaps before attending one of our advanced courses.
•	After DVD video or instructor-led training, it will serve as an invaluable day-to-day reference.
•	On its own, Telecom 101 is used by many as an economical and convenient way to self-study… these are the materials to an instructor-led course that costs $1395 to attend.

A US Army communications specialist deployed to Iraq called it a “lifesaver” when contacting us to order his own copy after the owner of the one he was borrowing demanded it back!
