Description

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
  • Design for data coverage
  • Design for voice and real-time applications
  • Design for location and Cisco CMX
