Description
The course provides a general overview of 802.11 networks with a focus on standards, physical and mac layer, coverage and security. At the end of the course there is a lab session when a wireless network is configured and students can capture and analyse wireless frames or connect their mobile devices.
After completing the course, a certificate
is issued on the Luxoft Training form
