What Students are Saying about this class:
“Just wanted to say well done, as well as thank you. As you likely deduced, our company is most definitely lacking in the wireless testing equipment department. As I'm sure the free software your class presented will prove more than helpful, I hope that the members of our management attending this class, see fit to invest in a few of the spectrum analyzers you recommended. Thanks again, and I assure you that I learned a whole lot more than I ever figured I would about the dreaded WLAN we all deal with in this industry.”
“This is an amazing course. Learning about Interchannel interference & other devices (microwave)”
“Very intuitive website and course structure, very interesting, keep it up!”
“Great Instructor...is patient and works with the students to ensure everyone is on the same page of understanding. Helps those that are stuck and appreciates that there are no 'stupid' questions!”
“Andrew was awesome. Very knowledgeable - eager to help...speaks clearly, timely, answers questions.”
“Best Class I have ever attended – great job Andy”
Course Description:
Knowing the fundamentals of Wi-Fi/WiFi 6/Wireless LAN Operations 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 wireless access technologies by Field Operations, Customer Service, and IT departments. This insightful and revealing course has been designed to focus on the operational aspects of implementing and maintaining a Wi-Fi/WLAN deployment, networking design, and performance measurement. This course will help you understand how Wi-Fi/WLAN networks operate. We will focus on 802.11 functions, and we will define terms and acronyms along the way. We will discuss what can go wrong in Wi-Fi/WLAN networks. In the end, the students will be able to better troubleshoot and communicate with peers and customers.
The course is a combination of knowledge training, systems analysis, with hands-on exercises using a variety of tools in a swift, comprehensive, and understandable way.
"Where is the best place to deploy the Access Point?"
"What must I know about WLAN deployment options that will affect the network operation?"
"What tools exist to help me analyze and design the best WLAN implementation?"
"How do I properly configure WLAN equipment to improve customer satisfaction?"
