From the Publisher:Perfect for network managers working for organizations interested in connecting their various locations using networks or furnishing wireless services to mobile employees, this book explores a vast array of practical solutions for setting up state-of-the-art wireless networks in offices, field operations, retail settings, factories, and warehouses. After an illuminating introduction to wireless technology, author Martin Nemzow describes the limitations and typical uses of the various wireless transmission technologies. Wireless applications covered include site-to-site connectivity, intra site mobility, ship-to-shore connectivity, wireless packet transmission, inventory operations, mesh connections, global positioning services, E-mail on the road, product coding and tagging and shipping/receiving. For each application, Nemzow explains how to modify the wired network for wireless access, and discusses the software required. Numerous examples, along with dozens of schematics and drawings, demonstrate how to install and connect the components and software. Fine-tuning instructions, diagnostic and troubleshooting information, and performance enhancement techniques for wireless networks are also included in this authoritative handbook.
