AM-214: Advanced WLAN Design and Site Survey (Updated)
Duration: 3 Days of Hands-On Training
Time: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (Day One & Two)
9:00 am - 3:00 pm (Day Three)
Course Level: Advanced
Who Should Attend? Those who want to learn how to design effective Wireless LANs — including WLANs for Voice and Data. Learn to use AirMagnet Planner, AirMagnet Survey, and AirMagnet Spectrum Analysis.
Overview: The goal of this course is to provide advanced training and live testing of WLAN Design and Site Survey techniques. Designed to meet the needs of Wireless LAN designers to use the latest tools in the design, and implementation of WLANs in real-world situations meeting the complex needs of Data, Voice over WiFi. We will be using AirMagnet Planner, Survey and Spectrum Analyzer to help take WLAN design to the next level. We now also include a major section on 802.11n and how to design around its specific architecture and needs.

This course concludes with a large, site survey and analysis exam/exercise - from initial design, through predictive analysis, outdoor and indoor surveys, spectrum analysis, and compliance reporting. This extensive class project serves as the AirMagnet Certified Design Expert Exam.
Fee: $1,995.00
