Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent ResourceThis book is informative yet still easy to comprehend. My collegue whom has been in the telecom industry for years recommended this book to me when I decidend to jump on the telecom bandwagon. Rating:  - Just an outline of substanceThis is a good book if you just want to know what's out there in terms of the different categories of technology. The author spends almost no time on any one technology, so this is purely just an overview book. Rating:  - Good for non-techies onlyI 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. Rating: - Informative Resource...Just had to take the time to commend the authors on a well done guide for those of us in or entering the field of wireless!! This is truly a resource! Rating: - Great comparison of different wireless technologiesI 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!
