Wireless Security Essentials: Defending Mobile Systems from Data Piracy Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I found that this book was informative in explaining the different wireless protocols out there. It also explained some of the weaknesses, which helped me not only to set up my own wireless lan at home, but make recommendations in my office towards a more private network! I recommend this book for anyone...

WiMAX: Technology for Broadband Wireless Access Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you have read the 802.16 standard this is not the book for you. It very closely follows its abysmal prose and its lack of clarity. You will find very few insights from the author about anything. To me, the point of writing a book about a standard should be to show how its pieces fit together, to give...

Antennas for Base Stations in Wireless Communications Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this book with the intention of really trying to learn the subject of antenna for base station. I got the book in 3-4 days (fast shipping by the book seller there) and after reading the book for 30 minutes, I have decided that the book is simply a waste of money and my time to read further....

Learning Wireless Java Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is an excellent introduction to J2ME for experienced Java developers. The book does what it intends to do very well, but the topic coverage is less than complete because it limits itself to the CLDC configuration and the MIDP profile. Granted, this is the most popular branch of development...

Sams Teach Yourself Wireless Java with J2ME in 21 Days Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I knew a little bit of Java, and I found this book very good. J2ME is explained pretty good, and the examples are easy to follow. I have developed several applications that I use after reading this book. If there is anything that is missing in this book, it would probably be an Appendix with a better...

Wireless Game Development in C/C++ with BREW (Wordware Game Developer's Library) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I just got this book, having pre-ordered it awhile ago. As a BREW games developer, I am finding Mr. Barbagello's explanation of some of the finer points of BREW very useful. I've already had a few "Doh! So *that's* how that works!" moments, and I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested...

DoCoMo--Japan's Wireless Tsunami: How One Mobile Telecom Created a New Market and Became a Global Force Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Chapter one of this pathetic book begins by informing us that "Business cases aren't romance novels. Things begin, and end, with the numbers". Not so this book. As well as seemingly endless diversions into such eclectic themes as post war land reform in Japan, General MacArthur's victorious cavalcade...

Mobile Commerce and Wireless Computing Systems Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The text provides a broad (many lecturers will skip the coverage of Shannon's information theory) but not deep coverage of telecommunications, then mobile networks of various kind, and wireless data services. Strengths: The coverage is reasonably complete, the language is clear, and there are many useful...

WirelessMAN: Inside the IEEE 802.16 Standard for Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have read several of the so called WiMAX books out there. This is the only one that I have found useful. If you want to know how 802.16-2004 (Fixed WiMAX) actually works this is the book to buy. Having read most of the other books this is the only book that I recommend to my colleages and customers.Click...

Pro J2ME Polish: Open Source Wireless Java Tools Suite Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When you first learn J2ME, you learn about this fantasy world where all devices follow the J2ME specification to a tee. But in the real world, because of the interpretive nature of the specifications, no two devices really implement the specification exactly the same. So this requires either targeting...

Maximum Wireless Security Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The authors have done an admirable job in making this complex topic approachable by readers with a basic understanding of networks.
