WiFi Training:

WiFi Training Course with Hands-On Labs (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live)

Using lecture interspersed with lab work, this workshop will help you acquire a thorough understanding of 802.11 operations, with a focus on delivering a rich voice, video, and data user experience. You will learn about the physical layer and the challenges of operating in an unlicensed spectrum.

You will also gain an in-depth understanding of how to connect to a Wi-Fi network and send data. Covered are MAC frame format, 802.11e QoS, 802.11n high throughput, and 802.11ac very high throughput.

The lab work will require the participants to bring Windows-based laptops to the classroom, and it will use the spectrum analyzer Metageek Chanalyzer 4 and the packet analyzer Wireshark.
