Good Value, Necessary information
Proper Network Design can be the difference between profit or loss to the designer/contractor. This text, written by Jim Hayes of the FOA lists all the important elements in the design of a system. It is a "Must Have" book for your bookshelf. Reading and following this can result in savings for the contractor and customer satisfaction.
