This authoritative handbook offers an unparalleled review of the complete short-range RF domain and its associated protocols, architectures and applications. Low energy and sensor technologies, such as Bluetooth low energy, EnOcean, 802.15.4, ZigBee, Z-Wave, Wavenis and DASH7 are covered, as well as the remaining WPAN technologies, including Bluetooth, WiFi, WirelessHD, WirelessUSB and WiGig. All are exhaustively explained in a unique, real-world context. The handbook explores the consumers’ perception of the technologies underlying their chosen products, alongside the marketers’ need to convince consumers to buy-in to wireless. It uniquely reveals how our personal area space is being pulled into various social media, such as Twitter and Facebook. The handbook demonstrates how technologies such as WiMAX, 3G/LTE, tri-/quad-play and Femtocells have inadvertently blurred the boundaries between personal and wide area communications, in turn, creating disruptive topologies through technology convergence. An essential read for students, engineers, product planners and technical marketers alike. • this material is subject to change.

RECOMMENDATION

Developing Practical Wireless Applications is accessible enough for business decision makers, detailed enough for technologists, occasionally opinionated enough to keep everyone on their toes. It's like hiring a really well-connected industry expert - for, say, one percent of the cost. ¬ Bill Camarda, Barnes & Noble, February 2007 Newsletter: Read Only.
