Unlike most other references on the market, this next-generation resource goes well beyond Bluetooth specifications and thoroughly examines different implementation approaches - as taught by a "master instructor." This book discusses Bluetooth in detail, covering both operational characteristics as well as its use as a wireless communications system. It addresses the coexistence of Bluetooth with other wireless networks and provides information on the significant security problems that exist when communicating without wires. It is based on 2 very popular and highly effective courses the author has been teaching for more than a year.

From the Back Cover
BLUETOOTH
Bringing low-cost, low-power wireless connectivity to data-driven devices, Bluetooth is revolutionizing human/technology interaction. Revenue generated by Bluetooth devices was $2 billion in 2001. Bluetooth revenue will skyrocket to $333 billion per year by 2006, according to international marketing, consulting, and training firm Frost & Sullivan.
WORKING BLUETOOTH
If you’re the one who puts the bite into Bluetooth, this meaty guide is for you. In these pages, master Bluetooth instructor Dr. Robert Morrow lays out precise guidance on making Bluetooth work in today’s and next-generation applications.
THE INSIDE TRACK FOR WIRELESS PROFESSIONALS
Packed with priceless experience, Bluetooth Implementation and Use cuts the time it takes you to
* Implement “wireless cable” for phones, other handhelds, and portables
* Build futuristic Bluetooth apps—for refrigerators that update PDA shopping lists, PDAs that survey local stores for the best prices, and as many others as you can dream up
* Examine operational characteristics in detail
* Solve security issues
* Get technical insights on Bluetooth’s coexistence with other wireless devices
* Find the facts you want on packet structure, paging, host interfacing, and designing and testing the Bluetooth module
* Probe the math behind the specifications for further research
THE HANDS ON GUIDE TO BLUETOOTH
Anyone tackling a job involving Bluetooth needs this in-depth guide. It goes beyond introducing the technology and prepares you for hands-on involvement with uses today and applications to come.

Excellent,

This review is from: Bluetooth: Operation and Use (Paperback)
I have attended onne of Bob Morrow's courses and found him to be one of the best instructor's I have had. He explains everything very clearly. His book lived up to my expectations as it is also clear and well presented. If you are looking for a book on Bluetooth, go no further.

Best book I've seen about Bluetooth,
By
This review is from: Bluetooth: Operation and Use (Paperback)
Despite that the Bluetooth specs and many Bluetooth devices are available, there is relatively little publicly accessible information regarding the Bluetooth protocol. The specs are too confusing for the average reader and the devices themselves provide no insight into how they do what they do. About the best resource I could find was the PaloWireless website.
Then I come across this book. Of all the Bluetooth books I've attempted to make sense of, this one takes the cake. I have an electrical engineering background, so some of the terminology was already familiar, but even non-engineering types should be able to follow it without much difficulty. Dr. Morrow takes a "bottom-up" approach to Bluetooth, starting from the basics of wireless, including power loss, interference, etc. and builds upon each previous section to give a remarkably complete picture of the how, what, and why's of Bluetooth operation. He uses practical examples supported by simple, comprehensible figures to get his point across. He also is keenly aware of the underlying complexities with Bluetooth and wireless transmission, yet he manages to carry the reader along a path that reveals the fundamental underpinnings without getting bogged down in the math. Mix in with that a clear writing style, well-organized chapters, and a hint of "suspense" regarding questions that formed in my mind as a I read. The result: an exceptional book that is both enjoyable to read and intellectually stimulating. For anyone interested in an introduction to wireless technology in general, particularly Bluetooth, this book gets my highest recommendation.
