1: Great Book
Great book for everything Wireless. Covers past, current and future technologies. If you are a tech nut like me, buy this book and read it cover to cover.

2: Too basic for engineers, but an excellent general reference.
I used this book as a supplemental reference for teaching an undergrad course in Wireless Communications. Although it is too basic for students with communications engineering backgrounds, it is terrific as a basic intro to multiple wireless technologies and related business applications and services. Technologies grow and industries change quickly, but this book's 2005 edition seemed reasonably up to date as of the end of 2006. Even I used it as a quick refresher on specific topics like WiMax, GPRS, 3G, UTMS, cdma2000. The author writes clearly, and this book is a great reference for general telecom audiences.

3: clear prose, without drowning you in maths
This second edition has prose that clearly explains the concepts in wireless engineering. Without diving deeply into the underlying physics or maths. Bedell explicitly states that he directs the book at a wide audience, including possibly those in the financial industry, who want to make some sense of the various wireless networks.
He covers all the important types of networks. From those that have been around for decades, to the latest WiFi and WiMax. The latter is especially speculative, but offers great potential for connecting up a wide area.

4: Best book on the wireless industry
This is by far the best book I've ever read on the wireless industry. I'm starting my career in this field and found the book very informative and easy to understand. I e-mailed Mr. Bedell with a question and he returned my e-mail in less than 12 hours!! If your new to wireless or your an old pro, this is the last book you'll ever need. TRY IT!! You won't be disapointed.

5: Good books for engineers wanting to understand current wireless technologies
For technical professionals and engineers, this book is a great way to understand past and existing wireless technologies. It gives an overview on the many aspects of wireless communication and explains the technologies to some amount of depth. The areas that explain how the wireless encoding works would have to be read more than once to grasp it. Every chapter starts with a good overview. The nice thing about this book is that it also contains information about the companies behind these technologies, their evolution (or demise) based on how technologies were selected over others and the evolution of the technologies themselves.
