Jahanzeb Khan and co-author Anis Khwaja bring in-depth knowledge and understanding to this exploding network trend. With years of experience and first-hand knowledge these two are fully qualified to teach a thing or two about securing wireless networks.

The book serves as a good resource even for those new to networking. The authors begin by covering the basics of networking in general and then discussing the basic concepts and technology behind wireless networks.

In talking about security, they again first discuss basic network security before moving on to discussing securing a wireless network. By providing an understanding of security in the "normal" wired network context they make it easier to compare and contrast that with the wireless networks to help you understand how and why they need to be secured.

Possibly the best part of the book is the fact that they walk you, step-by-step through the entire process of establishing a wireless network. They show you what you need to consider when planning a wireless network, how buy the right equipment for your needs and how to set up and configure your wireless network.

The book is long and sometimes uses a lot of technical terms, but it provides a very thorough overview. Another invaluable part of this book is the troubleshooting section and the case studies. The case studies are particularly useful for helping to put all of the concepts, terms, technology and advice into real-world examples that the reader can relate to. By showing how it all works in a real-life example it makes it easier for the reader to digest it all and apply it to their own situation.

For anyone who administers a wireless network or is considering implementing a wireless network in their business or at home, this book is a valuable resource to help you plan, implement, configure and secure that network.
