Description

Written for engineers involved in developing wireless LAN systems, this work aims to give the reader a practical understanding of the latest wireless LAN standards and their implementation. The book clearly explains the two principal standards, IEEE 802.11 and IrDA, plus the HIPERLAN standard, and explores their real-world applications through commercially available equipment. Specific scenarios explain how WLAN systems can be built and integrated with cabled systems.
