It was interesting although the edition I had to read for school was 4yrs old. I did learn a few things about WLANs that I did already know. Can't wait to apply it in my workplace.

It's an Ok book it is highly dense at points and some chapters are clearly written with more knowledge and just better written then other chapters. This is a good overall book it just shouldn't be used as your only study/learning material as long as you have something else backing up and reinforcing your ideas about wireless it is a great book. The only issue i had well using the kindle edition of the book was if you where doing the study do I know this questions the answers weren't a quick go to in the back. However each of the chapter are decent length covering a wide range of material and is an overall OK book.

This was the book for my wireless class. It was very easy to follow and taught me a lot about wireless technology.
