Wireless Networking: Introduction to Bluetooth and WiFi (Paperback)

This book provides comprehensive information on Wireless technologies with a deeper focus on Bluetooth and WiFi.

The book is structured as the following: 1. Overview on Wireless Technologies and related taxonomy. 2. Technology architectures of Bluetooth and WiFi 3. Comparative Analysis of Bluetooth and WiFi along with lesser known technologies like HyperLand and HomeRF. 4. Usage scenarios and a market focussed future outlook. 5. [New] Sections on Zigbee and WiMax. "Wireless Technologies: An introduction to Bluetooth and WiFi" is perfect for readers from both technical and non-technical backgrounds getting started on Wireless as it assumes little technical knowhow from its reader. This book is a great pick to use in an introductory class on Wireless Networks and is being used by few universities around the world. It is also a great place to start for marketing and industry focussed readers as the book goes beyond the technology and elaborates a more consumer centric, usage focused detail of the industry.
