Instant Online Access and 6-Month eLearning License Included Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) is becoming as ubiquitous as microwaves in enterprises, home offices and hotspots. This eLearning course offers a quick and concise overview of the Wi-Fi “network” and architecture. It begins with an overview of the current landscape of wireless networks, describing where Wi-Fi fits. The Wi-Fi network architecture and its components are introduced to provide an end-to-end view of the Wi-Fi network along with various applications of the technology, different flavors of Wi-Fi technologies and the landscape of Wi-Fi related technologies. The end-to-end view of a Wi-Fi connection setup and traffic flow is also explored.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Describe Wi-Fi’s place in the landscape of wireless networks • Sketch the Wi-Fi “network” architecture and its interfaces • List key applications on Wi-Fi such as local area wireless connectivity, VPN, VoIP, and FMC • List and define various 802.11 based air interface Wi-Fi technologies • Sketch how Wi-Fi fits into existing enterprise networks • Identify the options for Wi-Fi deployment
Intended Audience
