ECI – EMSP Wireless LAN Course
Course Description
Learn how to design, secure, and support wireless networks through detailed course discussion and a broad range of hands-on configuration and testing exercises. Learn in-depth security principles and troubleshooting techniques. Gain a full understanding of how radio frequency affects networking so you can perform site surveys, design a high-performance network, and protect both users and sensitive data from potential intruders.
After covering fundamental concepts of deploying a secure WLAN, you will explore advanced topics such as VoWLAN deployments, seamless mobile connectivity, and detailed wireless frame analysis. Enterprise class hardware and software tools are used during live lab exercises in order to simulate a state-of-the-art production environment.
This course is excellent as part of an overall study strategy for the CWNP certification CWNP. Full CWNP discussion concepts are covered with lab emphasis on real-world solutions, as well as many CWSP and CWNE concepts. This class is also part of our NOC Specialist Certificate track.
