Overview/Description
In order to send information wirelessly, devices must make use of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. Rules regarding what transmit power is allowed in specific frequencies differ between regions. In order to allow for interoperability between regions, a common set of rules, or protocols, for sending information is needed for vendors to follow when designing their wireless devices. This course describes wireless regulation bodies, such as the IEEE and Wi-Fi Alliance, as well as code regulatory bodies such as the FCC and ETSI. The 802.11 family of protocols, which govern wireless operation, is also covered. This course maps to the 640-721, Implementing Cisco Unified Wireless Networking Essentials (IUWNE), exam objectives for describing wireless regulatory bodies, standards and certifications such as FCC, ETSI, 802.11a/b/g/n, and Wi-Fi Alliance.
Target Audience
Network associates, WLAN designers, planners, implementers, optimizers, trainers or support personnel; candidates for the Implementing Cisco Unified Wireless Networking Essentials v1.0 640-721 examination, seeking to attain Cisco’s CCNA-WIRELESS credentials.
Prerequisites
Certification in Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1/CCENT); knowledge and skills commensurate with Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (ICND2); a working knowledge of the Windows operating system and Cisco IOS networking and concepts
