Wireless LAN (802.11) -
Technology & System Operation

backtotop.gifTraining Course Description

  • This training course focuses on a detailed description and analysis of procedures and methods used within the WLAN.
  • Following a short view on state-of-the-art-applications (short-term access, roaming, voice-over-WLAN), the training course investigates the tasks, message structure, primitives and parameters used for the design, implementation and test of WLAN networks and the implementation of public access points.
  • A major focus of this WLAN training course is related to security aspects e.g. ciphering, authentication, association. Both, the service provider’s, as well as the user’s point of view is considered.
  • Whenever applicable, we use real live examples from various sources to provide a realistic view on WLAN issues.
  • This training course addresses the needs of engineers and technicians who shall design, test, operate or optimize WLAN hotspots and equipment.
  • This training course focuses on all aspects of introduction or extension of WLAN into existing communication networks.
  • This training course is particularly interesting for engineers already experienced in GSM/GPRS networks.
As in all INACON training courses we integrated several interactive exercises for a perfect learning experience.
