Course Summary
Technology is constantly advancing, and to keep up with the demands and trends of the industry, wireless networks must be updated to match. The progression of wireless networks was slow-moving, but in recent years, new advancements have been made at a rapid rate.
Wireless networks are the method by which technology shares data and is utilised by almost every home and organisation within the modern world. For an engineer, it is crucial to have an in-depth understanding of how these networks work. Networks are multilayered, containing several different nodes, frequency bands and channels. There are many types of networks too; LAN, WLANS, cellular networks and more. Each one has its own unique characteristics that greatly differentiate its function from others.
These networks will also share many similar components and architectures. There are newly developed technologies, and evolutions of previously existing ones, such as LTE to 5G. To predict future developments or trends, it is important to reflect on previous technologies to gain a full understanding of their concepts and services.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Review the fundamentals of wireless networks.
- Recognise the different wireless technologies.
- Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different wireless networks.
- Identify different technologies by their IEEE code.
- Assess trends within the industry and how wireless networks have been adapted.
- Understand the architecture of wireless networks.
- Comprehend the modulation, coding and other key features of 802.11.
- Ensure wireless networks are completely secure for users.
- Maintain effective performance of wireless technologies.
- Compare previous networks and how technology has evolved.
- Predict future changes in network demand.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for wireless networks who wishes to develop their knowledge and skills. It would be most beneficial for:
- IT Professionals
- System Engineers
- Electrical Engineers
- Electrical Engineering Managers
- System Analysts
- Network Professionals
- Technical Managers
