From the Back Cover

NETWORKS TO GO
. No longer a futuristic fantasy, on-the-fly wireless networks are one of today's major developments in communications. Built anywhere, under almost any conditions, these temporary self-organizing systems of cooperating nodes feature a dynamic, decentralized topology and true mobility for users. Mobile Ad Hoc Networking shows you how to design and deploy them..

. UNTETHER YOUR NETWORKING SKILLS
. Written by an international expert and decade-long contributor to the technical standard, Mobile Ad Hoc Networking gives you a detailed, nuts-and-bolts tutorial on the design and integration of communications nets for locations and situations where putting up a permanent installation is not possible or practical. Packed with technical expertise you won't find in any other source, George Aggelou's guide shows you how to get temporary wireless networks (MANETs) up and running smoothly..

. A GROUNDBREAKING GUIDE TO OVER-THE-AIR NETWORKS. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks provides all the help you need to:.
