Product Description

Unlike most other references on the market, this next-generation resource goes well beyond Bluetooth specifications and thoroughly examines different implementation approaches - as taught by a "master instructor." This book discusses Bluetooth in detail, covering both operational characteristics as well as its use as a wireless communications system. It addresses the coexistence of Bluetooth with other wireless networks and provides information on the significant security problems that exist when communicating without wires. It is based on 2 very popular and highly effective courses the author has been teaching for more than a year.

From the Back Cover
BLUETOOTH

Bringing low-cost, low-power wireless connectivity to data-driven devices, Bluetooth is revolutionizing human/technology interaction. Revenue generated by Bluetooth devices was $2 billion in 2001. Bluetooth revenue will skyrocket to $333 billion per year by 2006, according to international marketing, consulting, and training firm Frost & Sullivan.

WORKING BLUETOOTH

If you're the one who puts the bite into Bluetooth, this meaty guide is for you. In these pages, master Bluetooth instructor Dr. Robert Morrow lays out precise guidance on making Bluetooth work in today's and next-generation applications.

THE INSIDE TRACK FOR WIRELESS PROFESSIONALS

Packed with priceless experience, Bluetooth Implementation and Use cuts the time it takes you to
- Implement 'wireless cable' for phones, other handhelds, and portables
- Build futuristic Bluetooth apps'for refrigerators that update PDA shopping lists, PDAs that survey local stores for the best prices, and as many others as you can dream up
- Examine operational characteristics in detail
- Solve security issues
- Get technical insights on Bluetooth's coexistence with other wireless devices
- Find the facts you want on packet structure, paging, host interfacing, and designing and testing the Bluetooth module
- Probe the math behind the specifications for further research

THE HANDS ON GUIDE TO BLUETOOTH

Anyone tackling a job involving Bluetooth needs this in-depth guide. It goes beyond introducing the technology and prepares you for hands-on involvement with uses today and applications to come.

Customer Reviews

Excellent comprehensive yet detailed coverage of Bluetooth
I bought this book to get a better understanding of Bluetooth on a number of levels - the radio transmission technology and attenuation of signals within buildings, the inquiry and paging mechanisms, piconets (slaves and masters), L2CAP and logical link layer, security (keys, encryption, bonding), profiles (and how they relate to each other) and co-existence with other wireless networks or devices liable to cause interference. I wasn't disappointed! I can definitely recommend this book for anybody who wants a good, broad-but-detailed, technical book about Bluetooth. It includes plenty of good quality diagrams for things such as frame formats, OSI-type layers, cryptographic inputs/outputs, transmission sequences etc. To be fair most people are unlikely to need all chapters (for example, I wasn't interested in the chapter on module fabrication etc, and skipped most of the maths on propagation - although will use some of the basic figures) but if anybody wants a serious professional reference on their corporate bookshelf then they can't go far wrong with this one!
