Wireless Networking Technology

Today's wireless communications engineer needs to understand both wireless networking technologies and Radio Frequency (RF) principles to maximise the performance of the wireless networks that they implement. "Wireless Networking Technology: From Principles to Successful Implementation" provides an all in one guide to wireless networking technologies and RF propagation methods, enabling the engineer to effectively solve implementation issues such as the impact of RF signal propagation on operating range, the degradation of range of input due to interference, the achievement of expected data throughput and the inter-operability of different equipment. This practical guide contains how to implementation information, including quick checklists on installing, using and troubleshooting wireless networks, ranging from selecting the right wireless network technology for the application, ensuring good signal coverage, implementing best practice wireless security to extending existing wired networks using wireless technology. This invaluable resource will give the wireless communications engineer all the knowledge and skills to design and implement high performance wireless networks. This is an all in one guide to solving the key problems in designing and deploying a wireless network. It offers a quick and accessible introduction to RF principles to maximise the efficiency of the network. It gives a good foundation on the key issues of wireless LAN security to enable the implementation of a secure wireless network.
