Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Many people claim to provide "a comprehensive and complete discussion", but looking at it closely reveals something very different. This book is a definite exception. The author claims to provide a complete and comprehensive covergae of managent plus business issues of this vast field -- and he delivers! The book covers business issues (M-Business, M-Government, regulations, standards, the business landscape), mobile applications (m-commerce, mobile EB apps, location sensitive applications, wireless sensor apps, mobile agent apps), mobile computing platforms (WAP, i-mode, MMIT, Mobile web services, BREW, J2ME), and wireless networks (802.11, UWB, Bluetooth, sensor networks, satellites, wireless local loops, 2.5/3G/4G cellular, free space optics, adhoc networks). My favorite are the last 3 chapters that cover architectures, integration, security, and management issues as a way to tie all pieces nicely. The examples and case studies are numerous (and some even funny). Around 700 pages of solid and well written material for less than $50 -- what a deal! Highly recommended.

This book, suitable for IS/IT courses and self study, presents a comprehensivecoverage of the technical as well as business/management aspects of mobile computing and wireless communications. Instead of one narrow topic, this classroom tested book covers the major building blocks (mobile applications, mobile computing platforms, wireless networks, architectures, security, and management) of mobile computing and wireless communications. Numerous real-life case studies and examples highlight the key points. The book starts with a discussion of m-business and m-government initiatives and examines mobile computing applications such as mobile messaging, m-commerce, M-CRM, M-portals, M-SCM, mobile agents, and sensor applications. The role of wireless Internet and Mobile IP is explained and the mobile computing platforms are analyzed with a discussion of wireless middleware, wireless gateways, mobile application servers, WAP, i-mode, J2ME, BREW, Mobile Internet Toolkit, and Mobile Web Services.The wireless networks are discussed at length with a review of wireless communication principles, wireless LANs with emphasis on 802.11 LANs, Bluetooth, wireless sensor networks, UWB (Ultra Wideband), cellular networks ranging from 1G to 5G, wireless local loops, FSO (Free Space Optics), satellites communications, and deep space networks. The book concludes with a review of the architectural, security, and management/support issues and their role in building, deploying and managing wireless systems in modern settings.
