Introduction to Wireless Billing; Usage Recording, Charge Processing, System Setup, and Real Time Billing Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book per se is fine, if basic information is what you are after BUT if you already have Introduction to Telecom Billing by the same authors, BEWARE: DON'T BUY THIS BOOK ANYMORE!!! Except for a few changes in the captions, the content of this book is probably 99% the same as Introduction to Telecom...

Principles of Digital Transmission: With Wireless Applications (Information Technology: Transmission, Processing and Storage) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Ezio Biglieri has again written a good text on Digital Communications, following his popular book on TCM (Trellis-Coded Modulation). This book avoided the pitfall of covering too much material, but only barely. Don't get me wrong: there's a lot of excellent and state-of-the-art knowledge in this book,...

Bert Wilson, Wireless Operator Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This Bert Wilson book was published in 1913, a year after the Titanic went down. Bert and his college chums sign on to a cargo ship for an around-the-world cruise. Bert is the radio operator...who does little radio operating. That disappointed me as I wanted to get a larger picture, in a fictional sense,...

Wideband Wireless Digital Communications Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book has a big, fancy, attractive title. But inside it does not have detailed explaination. It is not comprehensive as it claims. It is not a well-written book. It's more like a collection of conference papers thrown together for quick publication.Click Here to see more reviews about: Wideband Wireless...

Mobile IPv6: Mobility in a Wireless Internet Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book provides an excellent discussion about MIPv6. It explains the MIPv6 protocol in detail. It also elaborates on the aspects of security and Handover.

The Book of Wi-Fi: Install, Configure, and Use 802.11B Wireless Networking Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What I liked a lot about this book besides the wealth of information presented in a concise form was also its (at times) informal approach to the topic. The author places himself in the shoes of the average person struggling to set up their own wireless network in either a business or home situation.The...

RF/Microwave Circuit Design for Wireless Applications Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the type of book commonly published by Artech House or IEEE Press. It is as if a person who was highly skilled in writing liberal arts prose finds a file cabinet abandoned by a retired engineering manager. The file cabinet is filled with a lifetime eclectic collection of magazine articles, photo...

GPRS and 3G Wireless Applications: Professional Developer's Guide Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Generally a good overview of technologies available to wireless developers today, including WAP, Bluetooth, GPRS and 3G. As other reviewers have stated, the scope of the book is rather broad, so there is surface coverage of lots of issues.However, there is a hidden gem in this book, Chapter 8. This chapter...

Wi-Foo: The Secrets of Wireless Hacking Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)'Wi-Foo' is the wireless book the security community needs. The book mixes theory, tools, and techniques in a manner helpful to those on the offensive or defensive side of the wireless equation. After reading 'Wi-Foo,' I'm glad I didn't try to cover similar topics in my 'Tao of Network Security Monitoring'...

PC Magazine Wireless Solutions Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The target reader seems to be a Win-XP user with a D-Link DI-624, who does not really want to learn much. If that is you, then this book may be fine for you. If you only want to run the wizards & menus & little else, great. I happen to use Win-XP on some machines, and have a D-Link DI-624 on...
