(More customer reviews)'Bluetooth Connect without Cables' came about from a conversation in a Hotel bar following the completion of the first day of client training in our Bluetooth solution. We had spent a whole day talking and presenting and hadn't said a single word about our implementation yet! Why?, well Bluetooth was so new that nobody knew much about it, there were no text books, no courses, nothing but that thick specification document and a few white papers. So before we could begin to explain the fine details of what we'd done, we had to explain the Bluetooth specification.
After a couple of beers we had a contents page for a complete study of the Bluetooth specification covering all the additional areas that anyone implementing, selling or managing a Bluetooth product might want. We then just had to write it !
What we wound up with was the book that we had wanted to see when we first started working in Bluetooth space. Something that would give us an easy introduction, then go into enough detail that we knew how to really use Bluetooth. We put in summaries that can be read in isolation for those wanting to skip sections, and lots of diagrams and examples for those wanting to go into all the fine details.
The Bluetooth specification uses many other standards, but does not quote them, so somebody trying to get an all round understanding of Bluetooth also needs to look at: * GSM TS07.10 * OBEX * WAP * PPP * SAFER+ * Q.931 We had to hunt down diverse sources, then wade through irrelevant detail to pick out the few nuggets that are used in Bluetooth. What we really wanted was one source that just explained the relevant parts. It didn't exist, so we wrote it.
We also explain in detail other things that the Bluetooth specification either skips over or omits entirely, for example: * how to generate the UUIDs used to describe Bluetooth services * how the CVSD codec works * how to manage Bluetooth devices * a discussion of how to implement a Bluetooth system
In conferences, mailing lists, even general conversation with clients and competitors we found that people were asking questions about Bluetooth that went beyond the technical details. So we added chapters putting Bluetooth in context, covering the market for Bluetooth, other related wireless technologies, and the future of the specification.
"Bluetooth Connect without cables" is the only available source which brings together all this material in one place.

Bluetooth: Connect Without CablesBluetooth wireless technology is on the verge of revolutionizing communications, enabling virtually any communications device to transmit voice or data securely, at high speed -- without wires! It's no wonder everyone's talking about Bluetooth -- and now there's a complete, professional's guide to this remarkable technology. In Bluetooth: Connect Without Cables, two leading Bluetooth implementers explain the Bluetooth standard more clearly than it's ever been explained before -- and place Bluetooth in context, covering global markets, applications, complementary technologies, development issues, and more. Begin by understanding Bluetooth's origins and goals. Review the components of a Bluetooth system, how Bluetooth connections work, differences in Bluetooth's support for voice and data; security/management issues; key concepts such as piconets and scatternets; and system qualification. The book covers the Bluetooth protocol stack in depth, including module layers, host layers, and cross-layer functions.The authors conclude by placing Bluetooth in context: introducing complementary technologies, reviewing real-world implementation and development issues, analyzing the markets for Bluetooth technology, and previewing the future of Bluetooth.
