Rating:  - Great illustration of the basics
A previous reviewer wrote "takes one concept and manages to fill an entire book" as being a negative.

Rating:  - Weak book
I generally like this series, but this one is weak. Takes one idea and manages to fill up an entire book.
Rating: - Good book for beginners
This book fulfills its role as the very first book one may wish to read if he/she knows nothing at all about wireless technology and wants a broad overview of the subject. The colorful pictures and brief text descriptions makes the book accessible to newbies. The reader is then prepared to move into more advanced books on this interesting subject.
Rating:  - misleading content coverage, misleading title
CAUTION: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ANY KIND OF IN-DEPTH COVERAGE OF WIRELESS BASICS.
Rating:  - Great book!
If you want to know how any kind of wireless technology works, this is the book for you. Whether it's wireless networks, wireless Internet access, cell phones, WAP, pagers, WSDL...it's all here. The introductory material is great for anyone wanting to understand concepts like how data and information can be sent wireless, how the electromagnetic spectrum works, etc. And even the more complicated material is easy to follow --- the illustrations are clear and are great for explaining wireless concepts. ...
