Course Introduction

Schedule our instructor led classroom training at your convenience and never misses another lecture or fall behind. You are in complete control. We invited the Best Cisco Trainer in the industry to help us develop the ultimate training & certification program which includes everything you will need to fully prepare for the Cisco Wireless LAN Support Specialist certification exam.

As organizations adopt wireless LAN technology in order to extend employee access to critical network resources, they require qualified professionals who can design, install, support, and operate a wireless LAN solution. Cisco Wireless LAN Specialists understand radio technologies associated with WLAN 802.11g standards, WLAN and bridge topologies and applications. They can configure WLAN products including access points, bridges, client devices and accessories, while determining the best options and configure the appropriate security methods for Wireless LAN environments. They will understand basic antenna theory, as well as how to perform a site survey covering WLAN topology and design, and understand vertical market deployment and challenges including equipment utility and cable awareness.
