For example, mobile phones are now ubiquitous and increasing ranges of services are being delivered to personal digital assistants (PDAs). This course gives an overview of the concepts underlying the new systems and services and offers an insight into exciting future developments in speech recognition systems, networking tools and encryption. It will enhance understanding of issues relating to design and deployment, and enable you to engage fully in the debate that will shape our future.
