2-Day Instructor Led Hands On Lab Class
Available in either Web Based delivery or On-Site Delivery
Course Description:
Knowing the fundamentals of the 802.11 Wireless Networking is vital to anyone who is in the networking field today, whether it be Service Provider level or Enterprise level, especially considering the need to support wired, optical and wireless access technologies. This insightful and revealing course has been designed to focus on the systems approach, the engineering thinking behind the 802.11 networking design and implementation.
The course is a combination of knowledge training, systems analysis, with hands-on exercises using Mikrotik routers and IOS with 802.11 radios, revealing the details of 802.11a/b/g/n networking in a swift, comprehensive, and understandable way.
- "What is the 802.11 wireless networking technology and why it matters?"
- "What must I know about 802.11 that will affect my network?"
- "How does Wireless N compare with a/b/g and why would I use/not use it?"
- "How do I integrate Wireless with wireline?"
Course Objectives:
The objectives of the course are to develop a "hands-on" skill set targeted at Wireless technology and IP Routing in the following key areas:
- 802.11 a/b/g/n
- 802.16
- IP Addressing and Subnetting in a deployed 802.11 ISP
- Control Plane using OSPF in a deployed 802.11 ISP
- Delivering Wireless Quality of Service with IP
- Be able to design Wireless IP networks and subnetworks using addressing expertise developed in this class
- Use and understand configuration options of Radios and IP routing protocols
- Use and configure fundamental properties of Antennas, Radios, and IP Quality of Service
- Attain a fundamental understanding of Voice over IP over Wireless, Video over IP over Wireless and Multicast Services on wireless networks
- Observe and understand the future of Wireless services and contrast with WiMAX and 4G
These objectives are met by covering the necessary technical bases in a straight forward manner, by keep the content in context of the objectives - connecting the dots. Utilizing a short, subject specific architecture with exercises to drive home key points and Hands-On experience that reveal these points builds skills and knowledge based on Bloom's Taxonomy. The presentation is always industry current and up-to-date using a technology specialists.
