The Course Name: WIDESIGN – Designing Cisco Wireless Enterprise Networks
The Course Duration: 5 Days
The Overview:
The purpose of this course is to teach participants how to design a wireless network from the beginning to end, from customer-first contact to post-deployment reports. The student will learn how to conduct walkthroughs, identify difficult areas and optimize the survey process to provide a better AP-to-coverage ratio.
What You Will Learn:
- Customer Wi-Fi design process
