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.
