Book Description:
Webster’s New World Telecom Dictionary, by Ray Horak, is a comprehensive telecommunications dictionary of more than 7,500 terms critical to understanding voice, data, video, and multimedia communications system and network technologies, applications, and regulation. Given the convergence of computing and communications, the book also effectively is a computer dictionary with a telecom focus. It is thoroughly researched, highly objective, absolutely accurate, and includes just about every essential term, abbreviation, acronym, contraction, initialism, and portmanteau you might encounter in the telecom and datacom domains. Although the book is a technical dictionary, Horak’s plain-English, commonsense style yields definitions that are as thoroughly understandable to the business professional or student as they are to the electrical engineer. In fact, many entries are encyclopedic in nature, discussing applications and issues. Horak also injects a bit of his wry sense of humor, sprinkling occasional telecom trivia and marginally related definitions that will have you smiling and chuckling to yourself, but not to the point that they detract from what is an important book on a serious subject. An instant classic, Webster’s New World Telecom Dictionary is the one and only telecom dictionary you will need. It also makes a perfect companion to Horak’s Telecommunications and Data Communications Handbook, published by Wiley-Interscience in October 2007.



Summary: Ownership is mandatory
Rating: 5
Regardless of whether you a an undergraduate in a Business Administration curiculum, or an established Telecom or IT Professional, YOU NEED THIS BOOK. First of all, the price is right. And in today's world that is vital. But more important, the information provided exceeds expectation and is presented in language that even an industry novice can comprehend. The drawings and tables provide the proper support documentation without going into overkill.
In my 30+ years of experience in the telecom field, I have often found that the best way to gain client approval for a recommendation is to first educate the client and provide sufficient historical background so that my ultimate recommendation is the obvious solution. The information provided here, and the attention to detail in the way the information is presented, will allow the reader to answer or pose questions in any telecom-related environment.





Summary: Ray's Telecom Dictionary: My Dogeared Friend
Rating: 5
"Webster's New World Telecom Dictionary" is destined to become my most dog-eared book. I just got my copy a few days ago and already I have referred to it many times. What's especially interesting about the dictionary is how easy it is to read and understand. Ray Horak has a no-nonsense style which shines through in this book. He takes what was surely a gargantuan task - producing content for over 4,000 terms - and makes it look easy with his completely understandable definitions and explanations. The book is also filled with numerous diagrams and tables which make the more arcane definitions a lot easier to understand. If you work in telecommunications, data communications, service automation, contact centers, computer telephony, or any industry tied-in to telecommunications, this book is a must have desk reference.


Summary: Excellent resource
Rating: 5
This book is an excellent resource for networking professionals that must wear multiple hats -- LAN and WAN, legacy and emerging networks, or voice, data and video applications. Keeping up with all the terminology across these multiple technologies is quite a challenge, and this dictionary provides a ready reference for the times that you hear or read something that is unfamiliar, and you need a quick pointer to a definition or succinct explanation.


Summary: A necessary addition to your library
Rating: 5
This is an excellent addition to my library and one that everyone should own. If you are a technology person, or someone who just wants to understand today's terminology, this is the book for you. Ray Horak provides a relevant and comprehensive reference for today's telecommunication lingo. In our everyday lives we are surrounded by technology, and understanding technology's foundation is vital to everyone. Aren't you just a little curious what SAN, BGP or VoIP is? Add this book to your library!


Summary: This is a "Must Have"
Rating: 5
If you are in the Telecom or IT industries, this is a dictionary that belongs on your shelf. It's concise, and very comprehensive. Ray Horak's injection of bits of humor allow the reader to engage with the book, rather than just using it as a tool.
A quick and easy way to locate a definition or specification.
