Introduction to ISDN, ATM, and Broadband Digital Transmission

This program is a continuation of our Video Training Program "Introduction to Digital Transmission". Two videotapes and a student manual introduce the concepts and usage of ISDN. The tapes explain how the network is moving from telephony services today into ISDN. And, how the network will move in the future from ISDN to Broadband or B-ISDN services. The tape also contains an overview of ATM technology and how it relates to B-ISDN
