Pre-Requisites: c
c
Prior knowledge of Networking Concepts understanding of Network Protocols is preferred
however, is not necessary. It is recommended, but not required to have knowledge about
concepts in IP Addressing.c
cc
Benefits:c
c
The wireless network market continues to grow because of the additional productivity that
wireless network access brings to any organization.c
Properly trained and certified individuals are needed to make networks secure, cost-effective, and
reliable.c

A wireless network is intended for mobile users as a

supplement to the capabilities of a "wired" network
infrastructure.

Laptops that are properly configured for a wireless

environment can now access Internet and campus
network services without the restriction of physically
plugging into a "wired" network jack.

Access to popular services such as E-mail, Internet browsing, and Instant

Messaging is now available in designated wireless serviceable areas on campus.
