Next-Generation Wireless Networks Crash Course
Course Info
Course Summary
Almost everywhere you go now, a wireless network forms part of your daily life, connecting you to various 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 security, capacity, interoperability, and performance. Finally, we will look at the architecture and building blocks as they apply to the spectrum of future systems.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Gain a complete understanding of LAN/PAN/BAN wireless

Teaching takes place in various 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 require submitting 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 will give you references for the future. You are encouraged to ask questions and, if needed, spend time one-on-one with your tutor to review any issues. You can network with peers in similar roles during your time in the classroom.
