Cisco is changing the way that they want you to manage access points in you business and now they are going to test you on it.

They previous incarnation of this subject was nuch better, but much drier. The Author did a better job of presenting his material, I am just disappointed that so much of it was "We think we have a better way of doing things for wireless network, amd even if it doesn't work for you in your situation, TOUGH! Deal with it because that is what we are going to test you on anyway.

Only a few chapters cover the general topics of WLAN protocols and standards. Most of the book covers proprietary Cisco equipment and protocols.

I would have liked to see some sort of access point, controller, and WCS emulator included in the study disk. I just hope that there are not many scenario questions on the test that require an extensive knowledge of how those things work.

While not up-to-date for the current exam, all the information regarding RF is still important and useful for the exam. The only thing missing from this book that is needed for this exam is information specific to some of the newer hardware and the 7.0 release of the wireless LAN controller software.

Well worth the read for anyone who deploys wireless networks. Of course it's focused on Cisco products and is great material to prepare for taking the CCNA Wireless exam.
