Signaling in Telecommunication Networks

Summary: Good book for basic to advanced concepts in signaling.
Review: A good book to understand basic and advanced concepts in telecom signaling. Covers all most all the latest technologies.

In the next addition author can introduce another chapter on analog signaling like FXS, FXO and E&M. Although digital signaling is catching up but still there are few systems which uses older analog signaling.

Moreover it will be more useful if it takes examples from real world carrier networks using 5ESS, EWSD and E10B switches.

Please add something on ** QSIG ** also.

Summary: best signaling book
Review: best book I have read on telecom signaling. I especially like the chapters on SS7, TUP, ISUP, ISDN Q.931. The coverage focuses more on functionality than on the details of the protocols, which you can anyway pick up from the standards once you have the basic understanding. This book uses a lot of examples that make sense and the author appears to know the technology well enough to provide useful insight. The materials have been digested and very readably presented to the reader. This is a book you can really learn a lot comparing with other books which blatantly copy the standard text.

Summary: A great book for understanding Signaling and Telecomm
Review: I am teaching a college course on Telecommunications Technologies and have read over ten books on various communications areas, as well as numeroous web articles. This book is probably the best presentation I have read so far. It gives a precise and clear description of the topics it covers. It combines two seemingly conflicting characteristics: it is concise but comprehensive.
The presentation is very illuminating because it often explains the rationale behind features of protocols and architectures.
Descriptions of telecomm networks, transmission etc, given in the book as background, are very good for overview and general understanding.
I warmly recommend the book.

Summary: The only readable book on telecommunication signaling
Review: Van Bosse is to be commended for creating the first and to date only readable text on telecommunication signaling. If you're looking for an explanation of how various signaling protocols are used in the PSTN, this book provides all the essential information you need.

Summary: I like it a lot!
Review: Well written. Both this book and Manterfield's book are the best books in this area at the moment. It is clear the author is very technical skilled in Signalling, and this makes for a book that is easy to read and to understand. I do not think that if you wish to know about signalling/SS7 that you will be disappointed with buying this book.
