Informationen zum Autor Stephen A. Rackley holds a Doctorate in Experimental Physics at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge. He has worked for 26 years in the energy industry, with experience in some of the main technologies that are key to the currently most mature CO2 storage option - identification, assessment, monitoring and verification of sub-surface storage in the geo-sphere. More recently, his focus is on bringing significant new and evolving technologies to an advanced level (but non-specialist) student, engineering and project management audience. Klappentext Today's wireless communications engineer needs to understand both wireless networking technologies and radio frequency (RF) principles to maximise the performance of the wireless networks that they implement. Wireless Networking Technology: Principles and Practice provides an 'all in one' guide to wireless networking technologies and RF propagation methods! enabling the engineer to effectively solve implementation issues such as the impact of RF signal propagation on operating range! the degradation of range of input due to interference! the achievement of expected data throughput and the inter-operability of different equipment.This practical guide contains 'how to' implementation information! including quick checklists on installing! using and troubleshooting wireless networks! ranging from selecting the right wireless network technology for the application! ensuring good signal coverage! implementing best practice wireless security to extending existing wired networks using wireless technology.This invaluable resource will give the wireless communications engineer all the knowledge and skills to design and implement high performance wireless networks Zusammenfassung Explains the wireless technologies! covering all scales of wireless networking from personal (PAN) through local area (LAN) to metropolitan (MAN). This practical guide contains how to implementation information! including a case study that looks at the specific requirements for a voice over wireless LAN application. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
