Reader Reviews
This review was written in May of 2006. Of the three books available on WiMAX (the WiMAX handbook, the WiMAX operator's guide, and this one), this book is the most useful. The only negative to this book is that it devotes a full ninety pages to listing and describing the members of the WiMAX forum, which is either overkill, or book filler, or both. This glaring flaw is more than made up for, however, by the book's great illustrations, well written prose, and interesting anecdotes about the history and development of 802.16. Because of the overall tone and the amount of information contained in the non-Forum-members chapter, this book definitely earns five stars. If you can only pick one of the three WiMAX books available now, the Crash Course is the one you want.
