Best *comprehensive* broadband book available 25 Jun 2001

By D. Lee - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Wireless Broadband is an extremely comprehensive treatment of the broadband networking technology. The author has done a superb job of dissecting every conceivable aspect of broadbands from installation to methodology; LMDS, MMDS, WLL, etc. All the current protocols are described with complete instructions to their implementations. I highly recommend this book for networking students and professionals in the field of computer networking and telecommunication engineering. This book has it all, including schematics/plots, and numerous topology examples. The internet has relentlessly driven the telecom industry into more extensive networking means, and wireless broadbands are clearly the offering of choice. Read this book to stay abreast of the current wireless trends. Highly recommended reading.
