3.0 out of 5 stars Wireless security: misleading title ?, February 21, 2001

This review is from: The Consumer's Guide to Wireless Security (Paperback)

When I purchased this book, I thought that it would contain some information on wireless security such as GSM, CDMA, etc. but this book only talks about another sense of wireless which is applicable to other appliances. The contents of the book give a good introductory material which might be needed before a customer decides how to secure their valueable things.
