This review is from: Mobile Data & Wireless Lan Technologies (Hardcover)

Mobile Data and Wireless Lan Technologies is a book to help system administrators. Some buildings are hard to wire.Some people are hard to keep plugged in. When the telecommunication or I.T. manager calls in a consultant, how will they talk? This book is a tutorial for the administrator or network technician .It covers a large range of topics. It will not make the reader an expert. It may allow the reader to ask important questions.
