Wireless Local Area Networks is for those who will be charged with designing, building, and maintaining those networks, and it is a resolutely practical book. The very first page of the preface promises that the chapters were chosen for “conciseness and clarity [without] unnecessary information.” The book begins with an overview of wireless standards, and moves on to cover network security, public access, personal area networks, and future developments. The chapters are, as promised, clear and concise. The overview of 802.11b in Chapter 1 and the Bluetooth overview in chapter 13 are both excellent introductions to these wireless networking standards. -- ACM Networker Overall, the book is a valuable source of information about wireless LAN technologies with special respect to IEEE 802.11 standards. It contains a lot of practical information that comes from the experience of the authors....Lots of illustrations help understanding of important topics. The book will be attractive to many readers. I recommend it for every WLAN user, students, graduate students, as well as engineers and mobile operators.-- IEEE Communications "...attractive to many readers. I recommend it for every WLAN user, students, graduate students, as well as engineers and mobile operators."(IEEE Communications Magazine, August 2003)
