Description

CWDP training course description

The CWDP course consists of instructor-led training applicable to the design of wireless LANs using the latest technologies including 802.11n and 802.11ac. The course goes in-depth into the design process and provides attendees with the knowledge needed to plan, deploy and test modern 802.11-based networks. It also prepares students for the CWDP examination. Students who complete the course will acquire the necessary skills for preparing, planning performing and documenting site surveys and wireless LAN design procedures.

What will you learn

• Design enterprise WiFi networks.
• Select appropriate antennas and Access points.
• Perform site surveys.
• Describe the security requirements required for enterprise networks.
• Test, validate and troubleshoot installations.
