More 802.11 Alphabet Soup.Next Up: CWNP Unveils Training Video for `n`

Video provides in-depth look at next-generation wireless network features

ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
The push to enhance Wi-Fi has resulted in a steady barrage of technical
advancements over the past 10 years. This drive has created a staggering array
of amendments and supplements to a document already described as, "The Mother of
All Networking Standards." With 802.11n enterprise-class equipment sales now
approaching that of 802.11a/g, CWNP (Certified Wireless Network Professional),
the de facto standard in Wi-Fi training and certification, has unveiled a
tutorial video designed to demystify 802.11n`s dramatic performance, range and
stability enhancements.

"802.11n is the first Wi-Fi technology to offer performance on par with the fast
Ethernet connections commonly used for enterprise wired connections today; but
in the enterprise, 802.11n isn`t `plug and play.` To realize the value 802.11n
offers, it must be deployed correctly," said Devin Akin, CWNP Co-founder and
Chief Technology Officer. "Our 802.11n training video is a step-by-step,
technical walk-through of 802.11n PHY and MAC enhancements, and an in-depth
discussion of design and deployment considerations."

Created by Devin Akin, the six hour on-demand video is divided into chapters
covering a range of topics. Included:

* Challenges addressed by 802.11n
* 802.11n PHY/MAC layer enhancements
* MIMO and SISO systems
* 802.11n coexistence mechanisms
* Integration and deployment considerations
* Site surveying and analysis

"The 802.11n amendment currently requires an entire day of instructor led
training during our official CWNA: WLAN Administration classroom training,"
added Akin. "It is a complicated beast that isn`t easily absorbed. We used the
same stringent guidelines in creating the video as we do with our certification
exams. With the video, IT professionals will be able to review as many times as
needed to get the information required to face 802.11n certification and
deployment head-on."

"As technologies change, so too must the people who implement them," said Akin.
"To be successful in this industry, you have to go beyond each manufacturer`s
equipment and understand the underlying technology. CWNP courses are
vendor-neutral, enabling Wi-Fi professionals to learn the fundamentals of
standards-based Wi-Fi. This video is an extension of our program, focused on
what has already become a major driver in Wi-Fi`s growth."

The cost for the 802.11n video is $149.95 with orders placed online at
