It is the base certification for Enterprise Wi-Fi within the CWNP family of certifications and a springboard toward earning your security, design, analysis and network expert certifications.  Achieving it enhances your networking career profile, providing evidence that you have sought after Wi-Fi knowledge and skills.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of this course is to add Wi-Fi expertise to a networking professional&rsquo;s skillset, while covering all CWNA-107 exam topics.  The course begins with discussion topics and hands-on lab exercises covering the basic operation of 802.11 Wi-Fi technology.  Once a base of Wi-Fi knowledge is established, enterprise relevant topics such as Wi-Fi design, security, and troubleshooting are covered.  You will use enterprise-class hardware and software tools during live lab exercises, all accessible remotely for any instructor-led or virtual class.<\/p>","objective_plain":"- Background and roles of Wi-Fi governing bodies, including the IEEE and Wi-Fi Alliance\n- Radio frequency properties and behaviors\n- Wireless signal fundamentals, including measurement principles\n- Antenna information, including types and installation best practices\n- Wi-Fi standards, including 802.11 extensions ac, ad, af, and ah\n- Wi-Fi device types and infrastructure options\n- Wi-Fi communications processes, including connection, roaming, and data transfer\n- General troubleshooting tips to common real-world 802.11n issues\n- Wi-Fi architecture best practices, including both network and wireless design\n- Similarities, differences, and peculiarities about Wi-Fi deployments in differing environments (offices, K-12 education, health care facilities, and more)\n- Security standards, best practices, known vulnerabilities, and remediation techniques for Wi-Fi networks\n- Site surveying, including requirements gathering, design, installation, and validation\n- Troubleshooting methodology, tools, and techniques, along with common issues","essentials_plain":"Students should have basic networking knowledge, including understanding of the OSI Reference model and IP subnetting.","audience_plain":"- Administrators: network, systems, infrastructure, security, and LAN\/WLANs\n- Support professionals: technical assistance and field support\n- Designers: network, systems, and infrastructure\n- Developers: wireless software and hardware products\n- Consultants and integrators: IT and security\n- Decision makers: infrastructure managers, IT managers, security directors, chief security officers, and chief technology officers\n- CCNAs","contents_plain":"WLAN and Networking Industry Organizations \n\n\n- Wi-Fi Related Organizations\n- The IEEE\n- PHY Amendments\n- 802.11 Amendments\n- Wi-Fi Alliance\n- PoE (802.3)\nRF Characteristics and Behavior\n\n\n- Electromagnetic Spectrum\n- Wavelength, amplitude and other RF characteristics\n- Reflection, refraction and other RF behavior\n- RF Propagation\n- Basic Types of Modulation\nRF Mathematics and Measurements\n\n\n- RF units of measure\n- Basic RF mathematics\n- RF signal measurements\n- Understand link budgets\nRF Antennas and Hardware\n\n\n- RF Units of Measure\n- Types of Antennas and Antenna Systems Commonly Used With 802.11 WLANs\n- Antenna Polarization and Gain\n- Antenna Implementation\n- Types of Antenna Cables, Connectors, and Other Accessories\n802.11 PHYs and Network Types\n\n\n- 802.11 PHYs and Network Types\n- 802.11 Frequency Bands\n- 802.11 Channels Explained\n- OSI Model Layers and Wi-Fi\n- 802.11 Physical Layers (PHYs)\n- Throughput vs. Data Rate\n- RF Modulation Methods\n- 802.11 Use Case Scenarios\n- WLAN Operating Modes including BSS.
