Customer Reviews

for a general readership

An easy read. Well suited for someone who is not a physicist or communications engineer. The text glides smoothly over the basics of electromagnetic propagation and antenna design. Each of these is the stuff of entire [large] texts, for specialists. But the book gives you enough detail for your needs. One key point is that the truly hard work has already been encapsulated in the commercially available hardware, which is now very easy for the layman (you?) to use. There is deliberately very little to tweak on those boxes. Which makes a book like this feasible. Naturally, there is more detail on the 802.11 standards and on the possible layout topologies of your network. Reinforced by several case studies. The most useful of which may be that for a home office, especially if you want your wireless network to span your entire house.
