or
Implementing Cisco Unified Wireless Networking Essentials (IUWNE)

A basic knowledge of PC hardware configurations is also required and a basic understanding of networking business drivers is essential.

After completing this course you will be able to:

• Understand 802.11 internals, including modulation, spreading techniques and 802.11 key components (802.11b/g, 802.11a, 802.11n)
• Prepare and perform a site survey, from the method to gather the tools and required information to site survey methodology and report
• Configure and deploy Cisco autonomous access points and bridges
• Configure a Cisco client card with Cisco utilities
• Configure WLANs using a Cisco wireless LAN controller, both for basic and advanced features
• Use the latest features of the new WLAN controller code v7.0, and compare these new features to the older mainstream controller codes
• Implement the wireless components of the Borderless networks mobility solution, CleanAir, VideoStream, Cisco virtual Office and Office Extend
• Administer security so that the WLAN controller-based network is safe from attack
• Deploy advanced applications in your wireless networks, VoWLAN and location services
• Troubleshoot and maintain a WLAN controller-based network
• Install and setup Cisco WCS and provide the information needed to configure and manage a wireless network using Cisco WCS

This five-day course focuses on using Cisco Unified Wireless solutions, from initial site survey to deployment, management and troubleshooting. It is a combination of the existing CWLF and CWLAT courses but the content has been updated to include the current software release (7.x) as well as a number of topics related to the Cisco Borderless Networks Architecture.

This intensive bootcamp is designed to give you an in-depth understanding of the most innovative and comprehensive suite of WLAN solutions in the industry; it also prepares you for the Cisco Advanced Wireless Field Specialist and the Cisco Advanced Wireless Design Specialist certifications. Topics will include the concepts of autonomous and lightweight access points and controllers, site survey, network management solutions, security, Voice over WLAN deployments and Location Based Services. You will learn to operate and fine tune the Cisco wireless solutions, deploy and troubleshoot wireless networks.
