Aironet Wireless LAN Fundamentals AWLF Training
 Description
Wireless networking continues to explode in popularity as Local Area Networks (LANs) of all shapes and sizes integrate Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLANs). Unfortunately for IT professionals, wireless technology consists of many competing standards, several new networking components and varying architectures â€" especially
in massive corporate infrastructures. In addition, poorly designed and/or mis-configured wireless networks can cause dramatic security flaws and sluggish network performance. Our Cisco Aironet
Wireless LAN Fundamentals (AWLF) course is a critical first step for anyone interested in wireless networking -- from technical engineers preparing for
the design and installation of wireless networks to technical sales staff responsible for guiding customers through appropriate
wireless product purchases. While our expert-led course focuses on specific Cisco ® wireless solutions, it also provides students with an in-depth exploration of standards-based wireless technologies in general.
