- Course in a Nutshell
-
This three-day course covers the key concepts and techniques of short-range wireless network design, deployment, and operation. You will study indoor signal propagation characteristics, advanced modulation techniques, and network connectivity options. Next, the IEEE 802.11a/b/g WLAN, WiMedia high-rate WPAN, IEEE 802.15.1 Bluetooth, and IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee low-rate WPAN specifications will be examined in detail, and their operations compared.
If you are developing short-range wireless networks or are shifting your focus to WLAN or WPAN engineering, you will benefit from the emphasis to propagation, data transmission, and network operation given in this course. Systems engineers will gain insight into the tradeoffs associated with the different wireless specifications. Detailed operations of the various short-range networks will be especially useful to those who must determine the best solution for their wireless needs.
- Customize It!
-
Let us know your reason for studying the short-range wireless technologies so we can customize the course to your specific needs. The course can be tailored for audiences such as equipment or application developers, systems engineers, and less technical audiences such as management, marketing/sales, and others. It can also be modified to provide more in-depth coverage of technologies of particular interest to you or to focus on a particular application area such as healthcare.
