Developing Practical Wireless Applications

Book Description

Paperback: 280 pages
Publisher: Digital Press - January 4, 2007
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1555583105
ISBN-13: 978-1555583101

In a constant stream of new ideas, wireless technologies continue to emerge offering a range of capabilities, each affording simplicity and ease-of-use. Such diversity and choice should surely beg the question, are manufacturers using the right technology for the right product?

Developing Practical Wireless Applications will explore this question and, in doing so, will illustrate many of the wireless technologies currently available whilst drawing upon their individual strengths and weaknesses. More specifically, the book will draw your attention to the diverse collection of standardized and proprietary solutions available to manufacturers. As developers and innovators your choices are not restricted to any norm and, as such, a standardized or proprietary solution may afford you greater benefits in realising any product roadmap.

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.

*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

From the Back Cover
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 Gratton is 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.
