Description
The Designing Cisco Wireless Enterprise Networks (WIDESIGN) v1.0 is a 5-day instructor-led course that introduces learners to a new perspective on designing wireless networks. The learner learns how to design a Cisco wireless network from initial customer contact to post-deployment activities. The learner uses tools to assist in wireless design and management. The course also teaches how to conduct walk-throughs, identify difficult areas and optimize the survey process to provide a better AP-to-coverage ratio.
The course is designed to help students prepare for the CCNP Wireless certification 300-360 WIDESIGN exam.
