Newton's Telecom Dictionary: Telecommunications, Networking, Information Technologies, The Internet, Wired, Wireless, Satellites and Fiber Description
Newton's Telecom Dictionary is the "bible" of the telecommunications, networking, Internet, computer and information technology industry. It earned this reputation through its widespread adoption for training, for sales and for management understanding of industry technology. Substantially expanded, the 27th edition has 26,978 definitions -- with 695 new definitions and about 1500 updates reflecting industry changes since the 26th edition.
Many of the new entries are in hot areas including:
• 802.11 WiFi networks
• 3G, 3.5G and 4G/LTE
• satellite communications
• smartphones
• fiber broadband networks
• IP voice, data, and video
• DOCSIS, 1.1., 2.0 and 3.0
• convergence
• optical networks
• internetworking
• cloud services
• virtualization and visualization
• network security and network weaknesses
• military communications
• network economics
• MoCA and new local area networks
• ecommerce
• service delivery and billing
• government regulation
• industry mergers and acquisition
• green computing and green telephony
• social networks
Newton's Telecom Dictionary differs from technical dictionaries (on paper or online) in that it not only defines terms, but explains them and puts the terms in the context of alternatives and often offers advice on getting the maximum benefit from the technology. Some of the definitions are actually mini-essays, covering several pages. All definitions -- no matter how technical the term - are explained in words a non-engineer businessperson can understand. This “understandable words” approach is not an attempt to "dumb down" the definitions but to make them understandable and accessible to everyone, including engineers who may come from a different field of engineering and not be familiar with telecom’s nuances

REVIEW OF THE 27th EDITION:
This is a solid upgrade from the 26th edition. Amazingly, the price still is the same as it was in the 23rd through 26th editions, which had fewer definitions. This is a big difference from my cable TV company, which jacks up prices 5%-6% per year -- and even more -- for some services.
There are many new wireless terms in the 27th edition, reflecting society's and the telecommunications industry's massive, historic shift from wired to wireless communications. There also are new terms related to over-the-top services, the Internet, internetworking, network security, military communications, telecom regulation, billing, traditional wireline telephony, international communications, and cable TV.
Some of the many new terms in the 27th edition: Bluetooth 4.0, dual-SIM phone, multi-SIM phone, cell phone charm, cell phone forensics, cell tower in a box, tower dump, color ringback tone, mobile security, paired frequencies, 802.11ac, 802.11ah, Wi-Fi ad insertion, Wi-Fi bypass, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi divide, Wi-Fi offload, beacon receiver, beacon station, antenna siting industry, Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC), DOCSIS 3.1, XaaS, derived voice line, energy harvesting, cable chart, multichannel operator, showrooming, Facebook, CenturyLink, SpectrumCo, Berkeley Blue, Oaf Tobark.
The 27th edition also has a lot of updates reflecting the many mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures that have taken place in the industry, including, for example, Telcordia's ever-changing ownership, Verizon's acquisitions and divestitures, CenturyLink's evolution and acquisitions, Sun Microsystems' acquisition by Oracle, US West's evolution (now part of CenturyLink), Sprint's MADs, and MCI's/WorldCom's M&As and eventual acquisition by Verizon.
