In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in wireless networking and mobile devices. In a short period of time, these technologies have graduated from being goofy and unreliable to robust, useful and, in some cases, critical. While the wireless networking and mobile device technologies serve a useful purpose on their own, their combination presents incredible opportunities to make work, play and social life more productive, enjoyable and safe. This course will present technologies for implementing and applications of wireless data services. Different types of wireless data services - browser based, native and message-based services will be discussed. In addition, technologies required to support mobility, such mobile IP and mobile VPNs will be covered in this course.
Every two weeks we will review significant market developments in relevant areas. This will help students appreciate the market relevance of the technology covered in the course and get a better understanding of the state-of-the-art.
The ultimate objective of the course is to show students how they can exploit the capabilities of wireless networks and mobile devices to implement innovative applications to enhance productivity and effectiveness in a variety of domains.
