Course Objectives
In this seminar, we will provide you with the advanced fundamentals of radio engineering and wireless technologies.
In addition, topics such as antenna design, complex modulations, SNR, RSSI, DCA, TPC, 802.11ax, WPA3, MU-MIMO, OFDMA , wireless mesh, office extend, high density, enterprise design, branch office design, use of analysis tools, use of planning and illumination tools, use of Wireshark will be covered.
The theory is accompanied with extensive practical exercises and examples from real networks as well as live demos by our WiFi experts. The course offers a vendor-independent introduction to wireless and provides all the basic knowledge needed to prepare you to attend vendor-specific courses such as AMF and WLFNDU.
