A valuable insight. Developing Practical Wireless Applications offers a great deal more than that found in the numerous specifications; it has a rich content that surpasses other technical books. Thomas Eve-Matthews B.Sc., M.Sc., Software Engineer Incredibly raw and passionate. Developing Practical Wireless Applications provides a unique critique on a number of wireless technologies whilst remaining realistic about the ordinary consumer. Christopher Allen B.Sc., Product Manager Nothing but the truth! Developing Practical Wireless Applications approaches wireless product development from an unexpected angle and challenges our fundamental beliefs. Andrew D. Barry Ph.D., Senior Applications Architect KEY FEATURES: *Explores techniques used to attack wireless networks including WarXing, WarChalking, BlueJacking, and BlueSnarfing *Discusses applications utilizing ZigBee, NFC, RFID, Ultra-Wideband and WirelessUSB (WiMedia) *Details Bluetooth 2.x +EDR and introduces the v3.0 (BToverUWB) specification *Includes fundamental introductions to WiFi, namely 802.11i, 802.11p and 802.11n *Compares personal-area and wide-area communications including 3G, HSDPA, 4G, and WiMAX, as well as introducing Wireless Convergence Developing Practical Wireless Applications will help administrators and developers decide which technology and solutions are the best choice for a project. Wireless application manufacturers have a diverse collection of standardized and proprietary solutions available when developing and designing a wireless application; this book compares and contrasts these solutions guiding the practitioner to the best option. A comprehensive understanding of how wireless technologies operate including an examination of how these technologies overlap, complement, and compete is presented. The practicality of a wireless world is discussed in an attempt to better understand wireless application audiences and specific demographic groups. A richer understanding of the wireless consumer, along with complete knowledge of wireless technology solutions, provides the confidence needed to target and effectively lead new wireless products to market. Dean Anthony Grattonis the co-founder of whatiswireless.co.uk and the author of several patents and best-selling books. He has worked within the telecommunications industry for over ten years and provides consultancy to a number of high profile companies. Developing Practical Wireless Applications will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how each technology works, coupled with an exploration into overlapping, complementary and competing technologies. In establishing this foundation, we will explore wireless applications in their context and address their suitability. In contrast, the book also considers the practicality of a wireless world in an attempt to better understand our audience and specific demographic groups. Coupled with a richer understanding of our consumers, along with our technology make-up we can indeed target wireless products more effectively.Gratton, Dean A. is the author of 'Developing Practical Wireless Applications', published 2007 under ISBN 9781555583101 and ISBN 1555583105.
