Summary: An Outstanding Wireless Technology Reference
Review: Finally, a one stop shop for all I need to know about wireless data. It's about time! I started reading this book today and, despite numerous cell phone call interruptions as I lay sick in bed reading, I couldn't put it down. It's a great great book, lots of really great diagrams, schematics, and definitions that truly whisks away the veil of confusion that shrouds the wireless industry; I'm so sick of buying books online and getting them only to find them chockablock full of images and schematics that look like they were printed from screen shots.... "Wireless" is a real page turner (yes, I am as geeky as they get). Vacca makes everything so...legible---there is so much "jargon" in the industry that sometimes it seems like a new brand of alpha-numeric soup from Campbell's. This book does a great job of speaking to all the jargon but without assuming that you know everything. It's highly technical, but all the same it remains a comfortable read for an industry outsider.

Summary: Review
Review: JohnVacca has again written a book about a subject that has great application in the near future. As notebook computers are fast replacing desktop computers and as flat screen monitors are replacing CRT monitors, wireless data is replacing data transmission via cables of different types. Several companies have already replaced their local networks with wireless networks at work place where their employees can move about the work place and be connected to not only the company's Intranet but also the Internet. This book provides a good explanation in the understanding of wireless data transmission and the challenges for companies that provide wireless transmission to improve this technology as more companies and organizations will soon depend on this application to conduct business.

Summary: "Keeping Up" was never easier
Review: Network engineers and IT Hardware specialists had no idea just how much Wireless data would be streaming through the air today when they got their degrees three or four years ago. Staying on top of this technology without going back to school is cumbersome at best. John Vacca does an excellent job of condensing a virtual truckload of information about Wireless data into a concise and well written volume that includes the essentials. If you have responsibility for, or want to make a career out of Wireless devices and the data they transmit, or if you just want to stay ahead of those who will "get around to it someday," this book is definately for you.
