Résumé

Interests between broadcasters and telecom people are blurring. Technical operations and design engineers in one field are increasingly required to deal with practices and techniques in the other. The problem is expectations and terminology differences aren't recognized until it's too late.

Take "Quality of Service." The telecom people specify a percentage of the time that the service is guaranteed to be available. The down time may be very, very small. But, if it occurs during a high-priced commercial in the Super Bowl, it is very, very serious for the broadcaster. Practical IP and Telecom for Broadcast Engineering and Operations teaches the technology and how to structure it and make sure the finances work in your favor.

Learn how to:

Define communications circuit, equipment, facilities and services used in broadcast engineering and operations.
Evaluate suppliers as well as their products and services.
Prepare technical specifications and requests for bids, proposals required in competitive procurement actions.
Conduct communications operational effectiveness and cost audits.
Prepare communications cost management strategies and plans.
Plan and execute capital projects.
Survive Long-Term
