5.0 out of 5 stars Great comparison of different wireless technologies, January 30, 2001
By A Customer
I was looking for a book where I could get an overview and comparison of wireless systems without the technical jargon. I have recently become a telecom professional and am becoming familiar with the basic knowledge of cellular. I've heard about paging, Nextel, wireless local loop but didn't know anything about them. This book really helped me!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for non-techies only, August 28, 2001
By A Customer
I found this book disappointing, since I was expecting more depth. It provides an easy-to-understand, very general, overview of many wireless topics. It does not, however, as the description states, give a comprehensive look at the industry with details. I am a software engineer, new to the cellular field, and was looking for more technical depth to get me started. This book did not provide that depth. It's more of a mass market look at wireless technology.
