Course Overview
This Wi-Fi mesh networks training course is a three-day Boot Camp event, which covers all of the necessary skills to prepare a technical student to design Wi-Fi mesh networks to city-wide and municipal level. The three-day event is comprised of two modular courses in RF Design: Overview of RF Design Principles, and RF Design for Wi-Fi Mesh Networks.
This industry-leading mesh wi-fi network design course has been designed specifically to meet the needs of wireless network engineers who are planning a municipal WiFi mesh network, a wireless mesh network for public safety, or campus mesh WiFi network deployment, and who need the mesh WiFi RF design skills, balancing the requirements of service quality (including throughput and performance) with minimum capital and operations cost.
Audience
Engineers who are planning a municipal, public safety, or campus mesh deployment, and who need the mesh WiFi RF network design skills, balancing the requirements of service quality (including throughput and performance) with minimum capital and operations cost.
Skills Gained
Completion of the Wi-Fi Mesh RF Designer Boot CampTM training program proves that you have the skills to design, install, or operate mesh networks. Reduce the time to deploy your Wi-Fi mesh network, and move your career ahead, by learning from LEVER's mesh wireless networking experts.
Prerequisites
Prior experience with Wi-Fi networks. Course 615: Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA) provides an ideal foundation.
Course Outline
Boot Camp Day 1: A Overview of RF Design Principles
This one-day modular course is targeted at students who require a detailed course on RF design.
The course provides deep background and hands-on experience with the RF propagation models that are used in all RF planning tools, like those used for mesh network design.
You'll learn the differences between various propagation models, and where each model should be applied in your RF design process. You'll learn how to model foliage, terrain, buildings, and other obstructions in a mesh network design.
Boot Camp Days 2 and 3: RF Design for Mesh Networks
This two-day course has been designed for students who are planning a municipal, public safety, or campus mesh wireless network, and who need RF design skills, balancing the requirements of service quality (including coverage and performance) with minimum capital and operations cost.
The course teaches all Radio-Frequency (RF) design steps that an RF engineer would consider for a mesh deployment. Each RF design task is illustrated with practical examples, hands-on exercises and application of a software RF-design tool.
Boot Camp practical experience
The WiFi Mesh Designer Bootcamp is structured as 50% tutorial content, and 50% hands-on exercises, illustrated with case studies.
Through a special arrangement with EDX Wireless, a demonstration copy of the EDX SignalPro(R) software tool, including the SignalMX(TM) Mesh Network Design Module, is provided to each student, and used for in-class exercises.
You'll have the experience of designing the mesh WiFi RF network for a sample mesh-served community, engineering the client access layer, the mesh layer, and the backhaul layer.
In addition, six spreadsheet tools are provided to enhance the hands-on experience. Please bring your laptop with you in order to complete the practical exercises.
