Certified Wireless Network Administrator

Duration: 5 Days Course Code: CWNA Delivery Method: Company Event

Overview:

The CWNA certification is the foundation-level enterprise Wi-Fi certification for the CWNP Program. Achieving it sets your wireless career on afirm foundation, ensuring you have the skills to successfully survey, install, and administer enterprise Wi-Fi networks.

Company Events

These events can be delivered exclusively for your company at our locations or yours, specifically for your delegates and your needs. TheCompany Events can be tailored or standard course deliveries.

Target Audience:

In this hands-on course, you will gain a full understanding of how radio frequency affects networking so you can perform site surveys, design ahigh-performance network, and protect both users and sensitive data from potential intruders. Plus, you will explore advanced topics such asVoWLAN deployments, seamless mobile connectivity, and detailed wireless frame analysis. You will use enterprise-class hardware andsoftware tools during live lab exercises, simulating a state-of-the-art production environment
