Description
Course Summary
Pretty much everywhere you go now, there is a wireless network. They form part of our daily lives connecting us to all sorts of applications and hardware. We use wireless networking in enterprises, homes, and the street; it is a connected world. As a user, you wouldn’t give much thought to the technology behind it, but as someone working with wireless networks, it is essential to know exactly how things work.
In technical terms, you are looking at an OSI model, and the action is a physical later. Networks come in all guises, from WLANs to mobile phone networks, satellite networks and terrestrial microwave networks. The underpinning technology is growing and evolving so fast that it can be easy to get left behind, so this course is intended for those who need to keep on top of everything happening. Delegates will get a solid grounding in all aspects of wireless technologies and even look at further changes that are coming in the future. It explores trends, uses, and applications as we deploy the next-generation tech. Of course, we must consider the security and capacity and interoperability and performance. Finally, we will look at the architecture and building blocks as they apply to the spectrum of future systems.

Training Methodology
Teaching takes place in a variety of settings including face to face in a classroom environment and will ensure that participants can expand their knowledge of the subject and increase their skill set. The course is delivered via various methods by a specialist tutor. This will include PowerPoint presentations, reviewing articles and other relevant materials, group or individual exercises and discussions. There may be some independent work set, and the course will involve a requirement to submit articles to demonstrate understanding and an end of course test. Note-taking is encouraged, and you are welcome to use electronic devices to do this.
The course manual will form part of the learning but give you references for the future. You are encouraged to ask questions and, if needed, spend time one to one with your tutor to go over any issues. During your time in the classroom, you will be able to network with peers in similar roles.
