Free Space Optics

Rating:
Summary: Reviewer from Academic / Technical sector
Review: Having read the book, I tend to agree with the first two reviewers since most of the Free-Space technology is distorted to suit the authors' products. I disagree with the last reviewer from New York. More accurate FSO references exist for research, academic and development purposes. It depends on the reader ethical technical standard to select the appropriate sources. With less than three months of publishing, the book is already on the used book list....

Summary: Good read from a tehnology and market perspective
Review: The book captured how an old technology like FSO is capturing market share in a fiber and copper dominated world.

The technology description was thorough with just enough market info to keep me grounded.

I recommend it!

Summary: Whose this book intended for?
Review: The book lacks a purpose. It bounces around really not making a point or a conclusion. I'm not sure who the intended audience was for this book but it certainly wasn't myself or anyone I know in the networking industry. The book is very slanted to the author's small start-up company and their products. It appears Ghuman is no longer at the company because the bio on the back cover states he "was" not "is" at the company. I checked the web site and there is no mention of him.

I suppose I agree with an earlier comment that better information on the topic is found in white papers freely available on the Internet.
