Advanced Enterprise Wireless Course

About this course:

This advanced enterprise wireless course combines the theoretical foundations of wireless transmission, and Wireless LAN standards together with the practical aspects ranging from measurement, planning and troubleshooting activities, to network design and configuration of the CISCO network devices. After this course, you will understand how radio system works and you will be able to plan, design, configure and troubleshoot a real network.

This course’s uniqueness is also due to blending the knowledge and expertise of two partitioning trainers, one focusing solely on the radio systems research and development, and the other having vast experience in the network design and configuration and holding numerous CISCO certificates.
