The definitive guide to planning, architecting, deploying, supporting,
and creating Voice over Wireless LAN solutions

Recent advances make it possible to deliver high-quality voice and video
communications over a wireless LAN (WLAN), replacing costly wired
telephone and video surveillance systems and dramatically reducing
support costs. However, today's new voice over WLAN (VoWLAN)
technologies require fundamentally different skills and techniques from
those used in traditional voice and video systems. Now, there's a
complete guide to every facet of VoWLAN deployment: planning, design,
installation, security, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Authored by wireless industry expert and leader Jim Geier, Deploying
Voice over Wireless LANs draws on Geier's extensive experience with
real-world VoWLAN deployments. Geier brings together state-of-the-art
insights into VoWLAN technologies, standards, products, services,
implementation strategies, and much more.

Geier begins by introducing key components of today's VoWLAN systems,
including phones, client software, and voice encoders/decoders, as well
as VoWLAN signaling essentials such as analog-to-digital (A/D)
conversion and compression. Using examples drawn from actual enterprise
settings, you'll learn exactly how VoWLAN products integrate with
existing IP infrastructure.

Next, he introduces crucial emerging 802.11 standards for effective
VoWLAN deployment, including 802.11e quality of service (QoS) standards,
802.11r to minimize packet loss between access points, and 802.11k
network discovery. He carefully reviews the security implications of
VoWLAN voice, systematically covering both risks and countermeasures.
Finally, Geier walks through implementation from start to finish,
thoroughly covering analysis, design, installation, configuration,
testing, and support.

Whatever your role in planning, delivering, managing, or creating
wireless voice and video solutions, Deploying Voice over Wireless LANs
is your most comprehensive, authoritative resource.
