Description
In a constant stream of new ideas, wireless technologies continue to emerge offering a range of capabilities, each affording simplicity
and ease-of-use. Such diversity and choice should surely beg the question, ?are manufacturers using the right technology for the right
product??
Developing Practical Wireless Applications will explore this question and, in doing so, will illustrate many of the wireless
technologies currently available whilst drawing upon their individual strengths and weaknesses. More specifically, the book will draw
your attention to the diverse collection of standardized and proprietary solutions available to manufacturers. As developers and innovators
your choices are not restricted to any norm and, as such, a standardized or proprietary solution may afford you greater benefits in realising
any product roadmap.
Developing Practical Wireless Applications will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how each technology
works, coupled with an exploration into overlapping, complementary and competing technologies. In establishing this foundation, we will
explore wireless applications in their context and address their suitability. In contrast, the book also considers the practicality
of a wireless world in an attempt to better understand our audience and specific demographic groups. Coupled with a richer understanding
of our consumers, along with our technology make-up we can indeed target wireless products more effectively.
Audience
Intermediate to advanced technologists. Project Managers and Engineers. Business development personnel.
