Independent of 2.5G, 3G, or any other G, WiFi gives organizations a chance to selectively deploy the converged services not yet available from their carriers. This book, written for network engineers by highly experienced wireless and Ethernet experts, is one of the very first to provide the know-how for enterprise implementations. It drills down to the nuts and bolts of designing and building WiFi networks of scale. It covers all wireless environments that can be built with todays technology. It includes in-depth explanations of regulatory, security, and economic issues, and extended case studies to illustrate implementation advice. Detailing the design and deployment of 802.11b networks in every flavor and size, this working handbook delivers the hands-on expertise you need — complete with illustrative case studies. From one-cell home systems to global provider networks, Wi-Fi Handbook provides the A-Z facts, details, tips, and strategies you need to handle the job.
