Reader Reviews
This is a very good textbook for anyone who is interested in WLAN technologies, particularly those who are seeking to work in this field. There are currently 1200 Wi-fi hot spots in the US, and that number is expected to rise to 10,000 by the middle of 2003. A lot of people who were laid off in telecom will find employment in this new industry, and a book like this can help them converse intelligently on the subject of 802.11, Bluetooth, etc.
