Pragmatic Solution and not a Dogmatic Hypothesis

An excellent collection of solid practical content, a book that can be chosen as an academic course to be taught in variety of engineering disciplines such as electronics, computer science, Internet Technologies, etc. because of its solid practical approaches to deliver solution as opposed to hypothesizing on untested value propositions. In the era when many people rush to write books on any new technical catch phrase for the mere gratification of having authored a technical book that may augment their professional aspiration, the authors of "Wireless Enterprise Application Architecture" have provided the reader with a reference book that is a valuable knowledge source. Relatively small font size and condensed and to the point graphics that enhance readers understanding of major points discussed in the 630 pages of text are all indication of authors being the true subject matter specialists. The views presented in the book are both from 35000 feet and at the landing level suitable for enterprise strategists as well as technical and tactical workforce.

Impressive and Highly Relevant

I was doing research for our company's wireless project and came across this book. The chapters on wireless in the supply chain were excellent and highly relevant to my project. I wish I had known about them before I presented my findings to my colleagues. Either way, the book will serve as an excellent reference for my project.

Learn wireless architecture from the pros

One of the best books I've read on wireless technology. This book provides not only a blueprint for building a web architecture, but also illustrates how to integrate wireless design into your enteprise. It's like two books in one! Each section covers a unique case study for wireless. It's a rare chance to learn from the big 5 pros.It's a great book for a beginner or someone with years of experience.

A wealth of knowledge - A Must Buy!!

The authors do a superb job explaining the applications of wireless solutions for all readers - those very technical and those who are not. The information is concisely written and is not dry and boring. In addition, the case studies that were presented flowed very well with the material. This is the first book I've seen that disects each step of the architecture design process - the charts were a great visual guide.

Hundreds of thousands of $$ of consulting, in a (...) book

This book is an amazing opportunity to profit from the experiences of Cap Gemini's m-commerce and mobile/wireless groups. It's packed with case studies, best practices, and load of practical information - enough to give any engineer something to start with. But it's greatest value (for me, at least) was as a "bargaining tool" for my manager. It enabled me to say, "Look, someone else is doing what we want to do. Maybe next time it will be our competitors. For that reason, it's now got to be us." Now, our business infrastructure is on it's way to becoming that of what a powerhouse company should have.
