Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This text aims to provide readers with an understanding of wireless communications, such as cell phones, pagers and portable computers from a ba lanced, unbiased systems perspective, examining the competing industry standards and the role each can play in the complete system. The emerging standards, which claime to be able to provide two-way voice and data communications, including Internet access, from anywhere to anywhere are covered.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 397-401) and index.
