The first generation 802.11 wireless market, once struggling to expand, has spread from largely vertical applications such as healthcare, point of sale, and inventory management to become much more broad as a general networking technology being deployed in offices, schools, hotel guest rooms, airport departure areas, airplane cabins, entertainment venues, coffee shops, restaurants, and homes. This has led to the tremendous growth of new sources of IEEE 802.11 devices. IEEE 802.11 equipment is now moving into its second stage, where the wireless LAN is being treated as a large wireless communication system. As a system, there is more to consider than simply the communication over the air between a single access point and the associated mobile devices. This has lead to innovative changes in the equipment that makes up a wireless LAN. The IEEE 802.11 Handbook: A Designer's Companion, Second Edition is for the system network architects, hardware engineers and software engineers at the heart of this second stage in the evolution of 802.11 wireless LANs and for those designers that will take 802.11 to the next stage.

"Wireless 802.11 dual band 2.4 GHz-5 GHz networks overlaid with Quality of Service and robust security have become the choice for carrier grade voice over IP networks for the enterprise and consumer services market. The IEEE 802.11 Handbook: A Designer's Companion by Bob O'Hara and Al Petrick, 2nd Edition, contains a wealth of extremely useful technical information for designing standards based Wi-Fi(TM) VoIP products and networks. It's a valuable resource tool for every wireless engineer." --Harry Worstell, Researcher, AT&T Labs
"Wireless access networks are moving from a useful to a must-have imperative by CIOs and knowledge workers worldwide, catalyzed by the immediate and obvious productivity benefits of this technology, as well as the near-universal appeal of standards-based IEEE 802.11 networks. Bob O'Hara and Al Petrick's Designer's Companion plays a pivotal role for all technologists building to the standard or just those who want to understand it better. It's a must-read for everyone working with WLAN technology." --Brett Galloway, President and Chief Executive Officer, Airespace
"This book belongs on the desk of anyone involved with wireless LAN technologies and products. It's a vital reference to one of the most important elements in networking today." --Craig J. Mathias, Farpoint Group
"The amazing success of IEEE 802.11 adoptions is visible in the home, the enterprise, and other market segments. Such market growth and associated user experience has much to do with the fact 802.11 is a global Standard. I find that Bob O'Hara and Al Petrick's Designer's Companion is an excellent reference for those who are interested in learning about the Standard and its features." --Dr. Amer Hassan, Architect, Windows Networking and Device Technologies, Microsoft
