This authoritative handbook offers unparalleled coverage of the wireless personal area networking technologies and their associated protocols. Low energy and sensor technologies, such as Bluetooth low energy, low power Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Z-Wave, EnOcean and ANT+ are covered, along with the remaining WPAN technologies to include NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, WirelessUSB and WHDI. All are exhaustively explained in a unique, real-world context. It demonstrates how technologies such as WiMAX, 3G/4G/LTE and Femtocells have inadvertently blurred the boundaries between personal and wide area communications, creating disruptive topologies through technology convergence. The handbook explores the consumers' perception of the technologies underlying their chosen products, with an emphasis on the electronics, domotics, sports/fitness and health industries. It also provides vital information for technical marketers, revealing how our personal space is being pulled into social media streams, such as Twitter and Facebook. An essential read for students, software engineers/developers, product planners and technical marketers alike.
Industry Reviews
'Once again, Dean [Anthony Gratton] demonstrates his knowledge of the wireless standards landscape by providing a comparison of the many different technologies available. This is a valuable starting point for designers trying to unravel the complexities of the wireless world, helping them to determine the best option for their products.' Nick Hunn, independent consultant
'... the text is very readable and covers an interesting and topical subject. There are a number of other books on wireless PANs, but most seem to focus on specific subsets of technologies. In contrast, Gratton gives a broad coverage of PAN technologies. The book is an easily readable introduction for those unfamiliar with PAN technologies. In addition, the various chapters devoted to specific PAN protocols go into a good level of technical detail, which, combined with the thorough index, also make it useful as a reference.' David B. Henderson, Computing Reviews
'There is enough material in the book to make sense of any wireless standard and to start using the application-programming interface with ease. Software engineers and programmers who need guidance in this field will find great value in this book.' L. Benedicenti, Choice
