Wireless Training Solutions (WiTS) authored, the Official WFNA v2 courseware. The materials are maintained by Rick Murphy, the official WFNA courseware developer, so you get inside information straight from the source! WFNA Online training offers LIVE, instructor led training including hands-on labs, focused on helping you attain your certification and succeed in the WLAN field. This is the best way to prepare for the WFNA certification exam.

Duration: 5 Days

Overview: The WFNA Online class meets formally for four days (Tuesday - Friday). The lecture sessions (six to eight hours) consist of the same high quality instructor presentations given during the WFNA "in-person", instructor-led classes featuring lively lectures by only the very best authorized CWNA instructors, student-to-student discussions, and interactive demonstrations. Students of the WFNA Online class receive 30 days of access to the on-demand versions of the CWNA materials. This includes interactive access to the slides, videos and simulations to allow you to conduct outside-of-classroom reviews as needed.

Selected highlights of the hands-on labs where you will deploy, install, configure, and test a WiMAX system, including:
Install a WiMAX base station site while emphasizing safety and best practices Assemble the outdoor mounting apparatus to hold the Subscriber Station Outdoor Unit Connect AC, Data, and PoE cables before testing and aiming the ODU towards the Base Station antenna Use the Element Management System (EMS) application to add a new Subscriber Station object to the Network Map Apply the configuration settings needed to provide compliance with the customer’s Service Level Agreement (SLA) Use the Installation Manager application to determine the optimum placement and orientation of the Subscriber Station Measure the RF characteristics of various WiMAX signals, including RCE, EVM, and CINR, using a precision quality signal analyzer Use the analyzer’s Fixed WiMAX Demodulator Measurements mode to evaluate the modulation quality of OFDM/OFDMA data bursts Compare the recorded measurements to applicable specifications to determine passing or failing values Perform measurements for high- and low-CINR conditions Make measurements with the analyzer directly connected to the WiMAX signal source, via coaxial cable, and over-the-air, to simulate measurements that would be frequently performed at the base station Construct a customized pass/fail test which includes measurements and pass/fail criteria that a technician might use for over-the-air (OTA) testing of Fixed WiMAX base stations Check the readings against pass/fail criteria included in a customized script that you create Conduct Mobile WiMAX Drive Tests
