Data Over Wireless Networks: Bluetooth, Wap, and Wireless LANs

This is a good introduction into the forthcoming or already arrived Wireless Revolution that would change how Human Beings live and work in this eerie World.Although I have found it interesting but the depth of every topic touched such as WAP, LMDS, CDMA, AMPS, or Wirless LAN is too shallow but this Book by Held is still worth reading and I would recommend it to anyone who has become attracted to the Wirless World such as Mobile Interent m-commece.

This book is well written and interesting, provided you have some very basic knowledge about telecommunications and the jargon used. This book is good for you if you wanted one book which can describe all those wireless communications stuff and the latest emerging technologies in the field. For experts in the field this may not be so useful but if you are a novice to this field this book is a very safe bet.

As the author states in his well-written preface "wireless communications" is the revolution that we've all been waiting for. The question for me as a network administrator for a medium size company was; How could I take advantage of the wireless revolution in my own enterprise network?The author gives a convincing and well written discussion of the basics of wireless communication and an in-depth look at wireless LANs, WAP and covers just enough material on bluetooth as an emerging standard.I have long appreciated Gil Held's clearly written articles in Network Magazine and I recommend this book.
