Description
Conducting Cisco Unified Wireless Site Survey (CUWSS) v2.0 is a 5-day course that is designed to help students prepare for the CCNP wireless certification. The goal of the course is to provide students with information and practice activities to prepare them to technically plan and conduct a wireless site survey. Students should be able to design the RF network and conduct a postinstallation assessment to ensure compliancy.
