Publications and Public Speaking

Our expert staff shares its knowledge with the industry through various forums and publications, through our own ViewsLetter, books, trade publications, and industry conferences.      

Books


Bill Flanagan's new book for Wiley Interscience, VoIP and Unified Communications went to press in May 2011.  Publication is planned for March 2012.   Available on paper, 320 pages, and as an eBook from Wiley.com and other sources.

FC Associate Ray Horak published two books on networking in late 2007.  William Flanagan was the technical editor for both of them.  They offer extensive coverage of many technologies, and are as accurate as two old pros can make them.

The titles are:
Telecommunications and Data Communications Handbook, 791 pages.
Webster's New World Telecom Dictionary, 568 pages.

Wiley-Interscience is the publisher.  Available in bookstores and on the web from multiple merchants--do a web search for "Ray Horak" or start with Ray's profile page.
In addition to VoIP & UC, William Flanagan has published 10 editions of five books on networking for network managers. These volumes have been used as training texts for new hires at many hardware vendors and carriers.
  • T-1 Networking (5th Ed.; >60,000 copies in print)
  • Frames, Packets, & Cells in Broadband Networking
  • ATM Users Guide
  • ISDN:  A practical Guide (2nd Ed.)
  • Voice Over Frame Relay
Ray Horak also is author of of the best-seller "Communications Systems and Networks," now in its third edition, available from Amazon.

Periodicals

Horak and Flanagan write regularly for Telecom Reseller, a magazine and web site. 


ViewsLetter(SM)
ViewsLetter is an email newsletter from Flanagan Consulting that isn't tied to the news, but may use a "news peg" to select a topic on which one (or more) of our consultants has a strong opinion.  Our  analysis is based on historical perspective and knowledge of end users' needs--it might give your head a spin. 
 

Conferences

Consultants will be covering conferences in person throughout the year, and may be available for briefings, to answer questions, and to discuss the services offered by Flanagan Consulting.  Please phone or email to set a meeting.

As schedules permit, we are happy to visit high school and college classes studying networks and IT to share our knowledge, at no charge.
