 Good for the Non Technical December 12, 2007
If you have a technical background in wireless, you may find this book somewhat elementary. I would say that a better audience for it is perhaps someone entering the WiMAX world that is in a less technical area (sales, marketing) and needs a quick ramp up on the WiMAX technology.
 Suggestion: use Wikipedia or on line tutorials November 5, 2007

I was looking for a quick way to come up to speed on WiMAX for a graduate school paper. I did not need a blood and guts description of WiMAX, but I hoped to get something of a pseudo-technical overall understanding of the subject.
The author uses lots of acronyms without spelling them out and introduces important concepts without explaining them! [e.g., OFDM/ OFDMA are key to the technology! What do these acronyms mean? Why are these helpful?]
This does not work as a stand alone tutorial and ignores many helpful concepts. For example PHY and MAC are key sections in other sources, in this book they are shown in a figure that is never explained.
Finally, the book is not even close to being objective, he is a cheer leader. After reading this, you would expect WiMAX to solve world hunger. His comparisons to other technologies appear very biased and I can not even begin to understand how he generates his numbers.
Do yourself a favor. Go to the WiMAX forum and read their whitepapers. The book was cheap and still not worth the money!

This is more of a sales & marketing white paper than a deep technical review, but that is exactly what it's marketed as. With that in mind, this is a great top level review of the topic, and a fine primer for anyone just getting started, or who just needs to understand the high level concepts.
 Might be okay if you have no idea what so ever about WiMAX January 16, 2007

I didn't know too much about WiMAX and this book didn't add a whole lot. it seems like a bit of hodgepodge printed in very low quality.
a bunch of pseudo 'business considerations' and a lot of hype + some information that seemed outdated.
on the plus side - it is a very short read and I could expense the cost ...

This is little more than a sales pamphlet and a poorly written one at that. It provides a much "highlighted" view of WiMAX and downplays - or just blatantly ignores by omission - the downside and obstacles of this technology. What I find particularly irritating is how the author poses "technical objections" to WiMAX and then proceeds to circumvent any true understanding of the subject by introducing largely irrelevant solutions, some not even associated with WiMAX as a technology itself. This pamphlet would make a good - free - insert for a newspaper or could be handed out for entertainment purposes for people with flight delays, not exceeding one hour. After that, at least it is recyclable.
