Customer Reviews

Recommended!

Not only does it provide insights on the way Mobile Virtual Private Network services are deployed, but also does an excellent job in unveiling details on virtual private networksin fixed environment (better than many books I've read on this very topic). I also recommend this book for its cellular technologies and networking technology in depth tutorials, for those who needed them... Finally, I found the views on the direction wireless data services are going to take very interesting.

A First on Mobile VPNs

I've heard plenty about mobile VPNs, and I've been looking everywhere for some meat on it. Finally, I found this book. If you are looking for solid, useful info on this topic, this is the book for you.

Very good on hot mobile communication topics.

This is a very good book published right on-time. Covers hot mobile communications topics with good enough detail. Introduces mobile data communication concepts at first and explains mobile VPN's for 2.5G and 3G technologies. Although concentrated on CDMA2000 in stead of W-CDMA, this book is still useful on mobile data comunications and VPNs. Warmly recommended.

Excellent Book for Beginners to advanced readers on wireless

I have just finished going through this book yesterday and realized, Ididn't have this much detailed knowledge on the subject (even being anetworking professional for over 20 years). The book is definitely livesup to the expectations, in fact I am yet to see a better book oncellular wireless data (though this is not a main topic here). This bookgoes quite in depth on some very unique aspects of GPRS and CDMA2000data services, while presenting fresh view on the problem and uncoveringsome of the interesting industry secrets. This book is a must have forany one who wants to master wireless data and learn what Mobile orwireless VPN is about.Shneyderman and Casati do a great job of writing about this fascinatingtopic. This book makes a great reference for data and wireless pros aswell as a good (but not too easy) introduction for any beginner. Styleis great and fresh too. Recommend it to all.- Enjoy
