About this title

Review:

By P.P. Philbin, University of Vermont

...timely. The entries are clear and concise...The range of topics is exhaustive...Professionals and students should benefit from this hefty and thorough sourcebook. Recommended...

This volume is a sort of companion to "McGraw-Hill's Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications" (McGraw-Hill, 2001). Botto's "Encyclopedia" will be used by some students as a textbook for wireless networking. The work covers technologies such as 1G, 2G, 2.5G, and 3G wireless architectures with regard to devices, globalization, service, standards, and protocols...

The work is illustrated with black-and-white line drawings and diagrams. The articles are for the most part well written...the author tries to appeal to a wide range of readers...

Reference collections wanting a traditional paper encyclopedia covering wireless technologies will find Botto's volume hard to beat.
