The WiFi Networking Book: WLAN Standards: IEEE 802.11 bgn, 802.11n , 802.11ac and 802.11ax
Product ID: 141314452
'The WiFi Networking Book: WLAN Standards: IEEE 802.11 bgn, 802.11n , 802.11ac and 802.11ax' starts from the ground up for a new user and does a gradual progression into the technical details around IEEE 802.11 Wireless Lan communications standard. The book details the 'legacy' 802.11 stack (a/b/g) and also goes into the latest wave of 802.11 standards - 802.11n, ac and ax. Introduction A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a data transmission system designed to provide location-independent network access between computing devices by using radio waves rather than a cable infrastructure . In the corporate enterprise, wireless LANs are usually implemented as the final link between the existing wired network and a group of client computers, giving these users wireless access to the full resources and services of the corporate network across a building or campus setting. The widespread acceptance of WLANs depends on industry standardization to ensure product compatibility and reliability among the various manufacturers. The 802.11 specification as a standard for wireless LANS was ratified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in the year 1997. This version of 802.11 provides for 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps data rates and a set of fundamental signaling methods and other services. Like all IEEE 802 standards, the 802.11 standards focus on the bottom two levels the ISO model, the physical layer and link layer. Any LAN application, network operating system, protocol, including TCP/IP and Novell NetWare, will run on an 802.11-compliant WLAN as easily as they run over Ethernet.

Light and quick book for wifi standards
This a is a pretty good intro into what wifi is and the standards surrounding it. I wish there was a partner book to go along with it as it feels a bit light but this information is still helpful if your taking a networking course.

Standards not hands on
I wanted a more hands on approach. The book goes into WiFi standards, not hands-on router programming.

BEWARE: very small amount of content (lots of white space and blank pages)
This is a very brief, very high level summary of what the various 802.11 standards are generally about. No detail beyond these high level summaries. The publisher seems to have realized they did not have a full book on their hands, so they went small (6 x 9 inches), and they left blank 21 of the 107 pages. They also counted every single page including the first title page (which is generally not counted), and they left a lot of white space on the non-blank pages. If this were published as a normal size book without all the gratuitous white space, it might occupy about 30 pages? Just a guess. Another reviewer said this was "Very thorough and detailed information of 802.11 wireless technologies". Is he perhaps a friend of the author? Thorough and detailed this is not. Can a thorough and detailed account of all the various 802.11 standards fit into about 30 pages? For what it is, it seems fine. It's a concise high-level summary. But I feel they're marketing and pricing it as a book when it's really more of an introductory pamphlet.

Garbage
Buy books from CWNP, this is grabage.

Very, very, very basic
This book is a joke! There is just over a full page on physical layer. Need I say more?
