Wireless Internet overviews the various technologies and architectures of what is becoming a necessity for corporate technical staffs. It tells how to devise and implement wireless Internet applications and reveals the latest wireless hardware and software trends. It describes business products, standards, and applications, and explains issues involved in integrating wireless capabilities. It covers phone-based systems, PDAs, the wireless office and evaluates the current state of wireless communications.

To a layperson, this book serves as a good guide to learn the language of the wireless Internet and offers an initiation of the amazing applications that are enabled when wireless telecommunications and the Internet work together.

To an experienced engineer, this book gives an overview of the technology enablers and new standards such as WAP, BLUETOOTH and the road map for Global wireless data.

To an industry person, this book acts as a resource center for existing applications on the Wireless Internet. It provides an exhaustive list of existing applications created on the Wireless Internet.

Overall a very well researched book, it covers a lot of ground. Clearly written by an expert, I strongly recommend this book as a developer's guide and reference.

There is not one book as of today, that is as comprehensive as this one.

A good book to understand the evolution of wireless domain in terms of infrastructure, technology, devices and applications.

Very informative for any person wishing to understand the wireless world. Especially the first part, which deals with the evolution, providing technical details in an understandable format.

Sections on "How cell phones work?", "i-mode story" etc are very useful and informative.

The book is an ideal companion for sales and solution delivery personnel from the point of view of understanding concepts clearly.

Highly recommended for those who wish to dwell in the wireless domain or those who are already providing solutions in wireless space.

This timely and relevant book covers the topic of wireless architecture and application development in a through and well presented format. The content is very up to date and well explained.

When recommending books I always ask myself if I would give the text away in my TrainingCity.com classes. "Wireless Internet Applications and Architecture" by Mark Beaulieu passes that test with flying colors.

Although the book is targeted at product developers it would be an excellent addition to any telecom or IT profession faced with the task of understanding the current wireless infrastructure and state of emerging XML based wireless applications.

I've searched high and low for a solid introduction to today's wireless internet. Although this book is 7 years old, it's still the best I've found. Excellent conversational style of writing. Easy to read and follow. Whether you're reading a topic (such as Wireless Networks) or looking-up a specific technology (such as CDMA).
Useful to EE beginners like myself (I'm a boring financial guy), and Beaulieu goes into excellent detail w/ every topic so I believe it's excellent for you EE's as well.
As a reference resource it stands out for its 65 page Index. Detailed, and topics w/ multiple reference lines have bolded numbers to denote detailed information about the topic. Acronyms and technical terms have definitions included in the index. Excellent!
Publisher should have Beaulieu update this book for 4G.
