A very good cut at 802.11,
By
This review is from: Wireless LANs (Paperback)
Found the book very good on 802.11 some sections very technical for those that are. A general good read. Tended to focus more on 802.11b. I would add this to your collection of books. He is a player in the wireless field. He also is a contirbutor to educating the public on wireless. Check out his articles on-line and website. His NOTES in the book are priceless. I liked it. I would have liked to see a little more on 802.11 A and G especially on charts and comparsions. Hopefully we'll see a 3rd edition covering those areas a little more since this book was published in 7/2001.

Laden with corporo-speak - techies beware,
By "ducttapegeek" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wireless LANs (Paperback)
This is a good book if you're a member of a corporation planning a wireless network deployment; it spends a significant fraction of its time talking about the administrative structures that should be built up around a rollout.If you're a tech-head trying to learn more about the technology, prepare to wade through pages and pages of management jargon (complete with the same simplified diagrams you'd expect to see in a business seminar PowerPoint presentation.) This book will not help you much in constructing a home or community wireless network; it is oriented to project managers. If you're management, buy this book - but have your engineers buy something else.

By Francois Maire (Lyon, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wireless LANs (Paperback)
The book is the bible for building WLANs. It provides all the nitty-gritty details that are required.
