like WAP and EDGE and finally to full throttle 3G networks by explicating key
standards, digging deep into the guts of the relevant network protocols, and
detailing the full range of compatibility issues between the US (CDMA 2000) and

2. Building
Wireless Community Networks: Implementing the Wireless Web
In Building Wireless Community Networks, author and O'Reilly
networkadministrator Rob Flickenger offers a compelling case for building
wireless networks on a local level: They are inexpensive, and they can be
implemented and managed by the community using them, whether it's a school, a
neighborhood, or a small business. This nuts-and-bolts guide provides all the
necessary information for planning a network, getting the necessary components,
and understanding protocols that you need to design and implement your network.
The wireless Internet infrastructure, also known as Wi-Fi, is based on the
802.11b standard.
