Definitive WiFi training course description
A hands-on course focusing on the technical support of WiFi. Wireless LANs are often seen as simple communications that are simply installed and then left alone to work. This course ensures that delegates will be able to install WiFi networks which work but also enable the delegates to troubleshoot WiFi when it does go wrong.
Who will benefit?
Network administrators.
Network operators.
Definitive WiFi training prerequisites

Definitive WiFi training course objectives
By the end of the course delegates will be able to:
- Evaluate WiFi.
- Perform RF surveys.
- Install WiFi.
- Configure WiFi.
- Maintain and troubleshoot WiFi.
- Secure WiFi.
