Wireless
Fundamentals
The
second day of the boot camp will bring you all
up to speed on the fundamentals of wireless
technologies and how they work. Plugging in a
CAT5 cable is a lot different than establishing
a wireless link.
Using
license-free radio bands for profit or pleasure
- WISPs can learn to set up their own Wireless
Internet to offer fixed and mobile high-speed
Wireless Internet services. Learn why Wireless
technology is better than DSL and Cable modem
services, but completely bypasses the local
Telco's and Cable franchises.
This is a basic
technical presentation geared towards ISPs,
WISPs, Internet and networking managers, who
want more details about the License Exempt radio
bands as a means to offer high-speed Wireless
Internet access but have little or no
"radio" experience or knowledge. This
presentation is tailored for Wireless Internet
Service Providers (WISPs) and a must for ISPs
thinking of adding Wireless to their current
offerings. Sure you can learn everything in
this presentation on your own (in a year or
two), but we're here to get you all that
information so you can begin your Wireless
deployments NEXT WEEK.
Today's presentation
provides the basic technical overview of the
requirements of successful deployment of the
License Exempt systems using the 2.4 GHz band
and the 5.8 GHz band. Attendees will learn the
capabilities and limitations of the equipment as
well as the radio basics of WLAN (Wireless Local
Area Network) and how to deploy it successfully.
Topic sections include:
- License
Exempt radio frequencies
- Technical
definitions (dB, EIRP, LOS, nLOS, etc.)
- The
Spread Spectrum (FHSS, DSSS, and OFDM)
- How
radios communicate to each other
- Amplifiers:
How they work, when to use them and when not
to
- Basic
antenna fundamentals
- System
Operating Margins (SOM) and expected ranges
- Wireless
Internet Point of Presence (WiPOP) overview
- 2.4
GHz radio options
- Basic
configurations and antenna selections
- Client
Premise Equipment (CPE) options for all
bands
- Bridging,
Routing, Access Point operations (what's
best for you)
- Bandwidth
Control
- 5.2/5.8
GHz radio options
- 900
MHz radio options
- Combining
all three radio options
- Interference
mitigation and troubleshooting
- Wireless
- Tips and Tricks
- What
works and what doesn't
- FCC
Rules
- Student
question and answer period
The presentation
will also discuss a great many deployment
options and configuration designed specifically
for individual students. There is no need for
any prerequisite wireless knowledge or training.
Attendees will get all that from this
presentation.
The
class is limited in size to the first 100
registrants. PLEASE REGISTER AS EARLY AS YOU
POSSIBLY CAN.
