Bedell's book is the perfect go-between bridging the complex technologies behind wireless communications and the practical essentials of concern when deploying wireless as a business. While the book is crammed with detail, the author's tone and style make it remain easily digestible. You would be hard pressed to find this quality of information presented so readily elsewhere. There is something for everyone. Engineers would learn caveats like the application forms necessary to erect an antenna while business people receive a lesson on the finer points of directional gain. This breadth is one of the considerations that makes Cellular/PCS Management so special. As a practitioner in this vibrant industry, I credit this book with helping round out my knowledge tremendously. I am confident it will serve you as well.

This book is great for gaining a complete understanding of the different components needed for a wireless carrier system and how they work. This book is written in plain English which makes it easy to read and understand many complex topics. I have been working in the cellular/wireless industry for 3 years now and had to learn about the industry the hard way, old out of date books on this topic and none covered the entire wireless carrier system like this book. This book covers topics from communication towers and antennas to Call Processing and Cellular Fraud. As a professional going back to graduate school I appreciate the fact filled information, no fluff, to the point, and not geared toward an Engineer. Trust me when I say this is the book to start with to gain insight into the working of a wireless carrier system, I have done research on this topic for work and graduate school and haven't found any book as informative and useful as this one covering Cellular/PCS Communication Systems.

This book is great for both the wireless communications novice and experienced personnel. It offers insightful information in a quick and summarized format. A great high-level overview of the wireless industry as a whole. If you are looking for wireless information, but don't want to get bogged down in all the minute details, this is the book for you.
