While many very good books have been written on the “how” of wireless, it’s time for us to expand our view of mobility to the “why” of wireless mobility. The technical achievements of today’s wireless networks are largely due to excellent product, deployment, and maintenance engineering. Expanding our consideration of the “why” question will largely propel most of the next phase of achievements with this same technology.

This purpose of this book is to help elevate the discussions on mobility from purely technical to include the “why” of wireless. Simply stated, my objective ...
