Wireless connectivity to a network has evolved from being a novel concept to an expectation in customer premises, businesses, retail outlets, community centers, airports, stadiums and arenas, etc. Consequently, in addition to knowing and understanding the operation of broadband cable, the technician is also expected to understand all the different possibilities for wireless network connectivity. This study of wireless networking technology combines radio frequency (RF) and local area networking (LAN) fundamentals to explain the basic concepts and building blocks of wireless LANs. The student is introduced to wireless LAN infrastructure devices, antennas, access points, the 802.11 network architecture, Bluetooth, spread spectrum technology, governing bodies, troubleshooting, RF behavior, installation and security measures. This course targets both novice and experienced technicians who wish to gain a solid understanding of wireless networking to complement their knowledge of legacy connected networks. NCTI® recommends that the student taking this course should have an understanding of electricity and electronics or have completed Installer, Installer Technician and Service Technician. The student should also be familiar with computer networks or have completed the NCTI course Introduction to Networking: Home and Peer-to-Peer Networks and/or Introduction to Networking: Local Area Networks.
