The only advantage to going wireless anything is so when you put your gaming control junk on your keyboard tray and remove your mouse/keyboard you don't have to futz about with wires and risk jarring your PC and hard disk in a messy house.  Most games requre the use of the mouse in the interlude between missions as in Dark Star One or even Falcon when you need to pick a mission so you need quick swap from mouse to joy or pad.  Same with steerin devices(no one has invented cordless steering/pedal controls).  Otherwise it is merely a frivolty and money down the crapper.  If you have Logi's wireless anything(incl G7) your problems are inamate the signals cross at every opportunity.  FSS software only adds to the prob if you have an FSS Saitek keyboard in that it only detects one "TYPE" of device at a time and only the keyboard unless unplugged, a big fat mess!  In otherwords, if you have a Saitek keyboard a Saitek mouse and a Saitek Joystick and a Saitek gamepad, the keyboard and mouse are all that is recognized if you unplugg them Only the joy and pad are recognized and only if Logitech's own problems don't arise.(assuming one uses logi inputs).

The 900+ pages of this new book by Ulrich L. Rohde and David P. Newkirk covers a wide range of topics related to its title.  It should serve as a valuable reference to all engineers working in the field of wireless systems and its related components.  It also provides extensive sets of  relevant up-to-date references and related patents.
The book begins with  a quick overview of the radio channel and the various modulation schemes  used in wireless systems, providing useful definitions of commonly used  terminology.  Then, switching from system level, the authors quickly  progress to components and building block discussions for the rest of the  book.
A detailed review of active device models (large signal and small)  for various diodes, bipolar and Si and GaAs field-effect transistors are  followed by SPICE-, and noise-parameter extractions, including a new  modeling approach for low-voltage operation.
The most extensive chapter  (260 pages) of the book deals with design considerations of RF/MW linear,  low-noise, high gain  and (nonlinear) power amplifiers.  Several  illustrative examples are given, including a wide range of commercially  available device and amplifier datasheets.  This chapter also covers AGC  amplifiers and voltage-tuned filters.
The last three chapters cover  mixers, oscillators and synthesizers and their related CAD methodologies.  The Ansoft Serenade programs is used for all illustrative examples. The  book concludes with two Appendixes: one discussing HBT models, parameter  extraction and validation and another on multiharmonic load-pull techniques  and their applications in power amplifier and frequency multiplier designs.

The one big thing I've missed from my wired PS2 controllers is the rumble feature.  Don't get me wrong, the standard wireless controllers for the PS3 were a big improvement (I happily gave up the rumble to cut the cord).  But being able to have both wireless AND rumble is something I should've done a while back.  The silver color looks cool too.

Happy Rumbling!

The book describes the technology evolution of GSM. It contains trial and simulation results that are very usefull for understanding the technology capabilitites. It is by far the best book about GSM and GPRS technologies I have seen. It is also highly recomendable for anybody working in the mobile telecommunication bussiness, due to its practical approach.

This is a very good Wifi Extender. It puts out a strong signal. The setup was no problem.  I would recommend this product to any one.

It is very fast and the smartphone integration is awesome. I love the feature where you can create a second WiFi zone just for guests. But the one problem with it is that the range is rather limited. Our home is 2100 sqft single storey, and the rooms on either end of the home receive a very weak signal and sometimes no signal at all. In the interest of full disclosure though, we do keep this device behind a door  which is not recommended.

The battle between WiFi and wireless telephones.

We had a mixture of 2.4 gigahertz phones for years that coexisted peacefully with our old wireless G router. Well, the router died and we  needed a new one. The newest technology for wireless is "N" with Mimo Technology, which supports both N and G wireless networks. So, of course we buy. After all, now is the future, right?

Mimo WiFi uses several different radio frequency channels (in the 2.4 gigahertz range for G networks) at the same time to assure an optimal radio signal to your WiFi laptops (in our case, G). This works great for the WiFi network, BUT......every time our telephones rang...Poof, the WiFi Signal got scrambled and we lost the network. We tried setting different channels on the phones and the router, nothing worked.

So being in the market for a major upgrade with our now antiquated phone system, we bought this Dect. 6.0 system that uses the 1.9 gigahertz frequency.

First of all..no interference in the WiFi network....NONE!

There are also a few features that I like.

We can now communicate and transfer calls with each other over 5 acres of land with complete security.

Talking Caller ID enables me to save a few steps and decide if I want to answer the call.

Since Vonage (my phone service) does not have specific call block, this phone can block certain pesky incoming calls and give the abusive callers a busy signal to listen to. This is a great feature and the only way Panasonic could improve on it, is to give us a choice between the busy signal or tones that indicate that the phone has been disconnected.

I can't say anything about the voice mail except that you can turn it off quite easily. We use the Vonage voice mail and are quite happy with it.

We are easily adding to the phone book as calls are coming in. I think it is a bit of a hassle to add them in manually.

Different ring tones are nice, and sound pretty. All of us have set up different ring tones and it is quite a symphony in the house when all the phones play their distinct melodies.

Each phone has a speaker phone and my friends can't tell I am using it.

Only the main base need to be plugged into a backup power supply if you want to do that.

All in all, I am very satisfied and am going to add 2 more phones to my 4 phone system.

12/16/2010 Edited to say that phones are still working, but I did have to replace the rechargeable batteries on one of them. The plus side to this is that they are easily replaceable; two Triple A (AAA), Nickle Metal Hydrides!

06/25/2013  Edited to say that the phones are still working perfectly! Had to change out the batteries on all of them. Small price to pay for a great phone system!

I compared different receivers and decided to purchase this model. Im glad I did! I use it in my truck, on a pair of wired headphones that I can now use wireless and also on an old receiver that I can now use wireless also. There are many applications that this receiver can be used for. The versatility is great, and it works as advertised. That is why this product gets 5 stars.

The transmitting feature is good, but I am still testing the receiving feature. Hope that it can work for my desktop.

Jean-Philippe Vasseur and Adam Dunkels write a fascinating look into the future of the Internet with their new book "Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP".  Their goal here is to show that the use of IP for smart objects is not just a futuristic dream world of connecting the "Internet of Things", but a real possibility today.  Using open standards and resources available today, this technology can move forward without the need of costly proprietary solutions. Their definition of what are smart objects becomes a little bit futuristic in scope because much of this new technology still lies in the development stage of production.  Smart objects emerge from different technologies and scientific arenas.  Borrowing much between computing and telephony, smart objects will use both of these to evolve and maintain standardization.  The Internet protocols of today's networks have the means of making all these embedded systems work and communicate together properly.  Now the social and political engineering begins by trying to make all the vendors play nice with one another.  The book is structured so as to be a tutorial on understanding smart objects and how they relate to the IP world.  I view this book and its' subsequent revisions to be used in Computer Engineering classes.  Much of the book is an introductory look at the evolving IEEE 802.15.4 networks and IP protocols such as IPv6.  This isn't a deep level study of programming but it is a good look at what is coming down the networking track.  With everything headed in the "Green" direction, new technologies like smart objects will become bigger players in the globally interconnected world.  Well worth the read and addition to the technology shelf.

It is organized well according to the IEEE 802.11 version of 1999. The concept of WLAN is clarified clearly.
But the content of 802.11a seems lacking for a better understanding. Several chapters introducing the products from vendors are useless to me.
I hope the next edition will give more description on 802.11a, 11e and 11g.

I bought this device to help expand the range of my airport extreme base station and to share a printer over a wireless network. I have been pleased with the results. Internet has never run smoother.

Bertoni stresses the practical aspects of this explosively growing field. It covers the results of his personal field research carried out throughout the world. It explains the varying behavior of high freq radio waves (used by personal devices) in varying physical environments, such as highways, open fields, hilly regions, and urban settings. It describes reflection and refraction due to these different settings. The author is a pioneer in this area, years before the age of PCS. Although retired, a second edtion upgrade might be in order.

Great options and updates to this receiver. Only needs to include wireless functionality within the product rather then making me purchase the add-on separately.

Excellent product. Easy to install. It does what it is described to do. Very fast and steady connection. Goodbye to wireless adaptors.

This is a very interesting new device. It enables the user to interface their cell phone, tablet or other bluetooth enabled platform to other more conventional sound and speaker systems ... seamlessly !!! For those who are interested in taking advantage of this concept with their personal music & sound devices, $23 is a very reasonable price for all that it accomplishes.
