System Design for Telecommunication Gateways

System Design for Telecommunication Gateways provides a thorough introduction to designing telecommunication network equipment based on the latest hardware designs and software methods available on the market. It reflects the changing hardware architecture in wireline and wireless networks today. The book describes the multiple software layers involved in programming paradigms and provides useful information on preferred ways to proceed, depending on the specific project requirements. Multiple hardware processing options are also discussed with recommendations on the available technologies. The book combines a range of topics in the system design concept, emphasizing the close relationship between different components and design choices. It covers the fundamental levels before proceeding to more complex topics, providing a comprehensive, well–balanced overview and guide to best practices in the design and development of modern gateway products for carrier–class telecommunications.
System Design for Telecommunication Gateways shares the author’s 25 years of experience in designing systems, based on state–of–the–art technologies. It provides practical tools to select some of these technologies in the short term, concentrating on the current approaches that will most probably dominate products for the next 10 years. Up until now, this information has been inaccessible outside the design centers of major telecoms suppliers such as Nokia Siemens Networks, Ericsson and  Alcatel–Lucent. The book is intended to help designers of telecommunication equipment to make the right software and hardware choices while defining their next generation systems.
