Wireless Intelligent Networking

This book is extremely useful in helping service developers understand the real-world issues involved with bringing new services to market, and equally valuable in educating ex-wireline professionals and non-technical executives on IN mobile networking issues and technology.

If you're new to the business, you'll appreciate the discussions of wireless IN standards, recommended business strategies, and applications. More experienced readers will learn more about the technology behind roaming, and the convergence of wireless and Internet communications.

Distinguishing this book from others in the field, and of particular value to more advanced readers, is the coverage of SS7, INAP, GSM, CAMEL, ANSI-41, WIN, ISUP loopback signaling, and proprietary IN technologies.

All readers will find the book a superb reference with clear descriptions, helpful diagrams, and an extensive glossary covering everything from basic mobile concepts to a detailed overview of the IN Conceptual Model.
