Benefits of attending the course
 The wireless LAN market continues to grow because of additional productivity that wireless
network access brings to any organization. Only properly trained individuals can make
wireless networks cost-effective, secure and reliable. This hands-on training will give the
student the confidence and skills necessary to implement and maintain wireless LANs
properly.
 Successful candidates will learn the fundamentals of RF behavior, be able to describe the
features and functions of wireless LAN components, and have the skills needed to install,
configure, and troubleshoot IEEE 802.11-based wireless LANs.
