Your success guide to the next wireless revolution
The next watershed innovation in wireless technology is here: IEEE802.11 wireless local area networks (LANs).
Recent studies from IDC indicate that the Wi-Fi wireless LAN marketwill likely account for ninety percent of projected LAN equipmentrevenues by 2005-a trend that promises to spill over into homewireless networks. Yet this amazing growth has also createdconfusion: Which version of 802.11 is best for vendors andend-users? What about solutions such as the a/g and a/bcombinations of the 802.11 standards?
In World Wide Wi-Fi: Technological Trends and Business Strategies,Teik-Kheong (TK) Tan and Benny Bing provide a clear, accessibleroad map of the Wi-Fi wireless LAN market. Unlike most books onwireless local area networks (WLANs), this must-have resourceexplains both the business and technology of WLANs, and offersready-to-use tactics and strategies for thriving in this lucrativefield. Along the way, you'll also gain insight into the emergingWi-Fi standards.
World Wide Wi-Fi presents:
* Key technological issues related to the design and deployment ofWi-Fi wireless LANs
* An insider's look at market dynamics, market segmentation,service provider, enterprise, and chipset strategies
* The interrelationship between the 802.11a, b, and gstandards
* And much more
Supported by real statistics and case studies, plus profiles ofsuppliers, regulators, and other market players, this one-of-a-kindguide helps you create effective market penetration strategies andevaluate vendor-specific features.
