misleading content coverage, misleading title
CAUTION: DO NOT BUT THIS BOOK IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ANY KIND OF IN-DEPTH COVERAGE OF WIRELESS BASICS.


Rating: 4 out of 5
Good but very simple
This covers many aspects of wireless and is useful as an intriduction to the most basic concepts. The amount of technical detial could be more without sacrificing simplicity, but I share it with my students or colleagues who have little knowledge of this area and wish for an overview.

Great book!
If you want to know how any kind of wireless technology works, this is the book for you. Whether it's wireless networks, wireless Internet access, cell phones, WAP, pagers, WSDL...it's all here. The introductory material is great for anyone wanting to understand concepts like how data and information can be sent wireless, how the electromagnetic spectrum works, etc. And even the more complicated material is easy to follow --- the illustrations are clear and are great for explaining wireless concepts. Anyone interested in wireless technology should get this book.
