AirMagnet of Mountain View, CA, makers of the AirMagnet Handheld and Laptop
Analyzers, software for wireless LAN administration, installation surveying,
security assessment, connection troubleshooting, performance management, and
operational support,
is now offering a 2-day training course for the product. The company offered
a sample of this course in November in San Mateo, near its headquarters, and
the success led to going world wide: In partnership with third party training
companies, the course will be available in North America, Europe and Japan this
year.
The course, entitled Wireless LAN Administration
Using AirMagnet, is a 2-day focused look at use of AirMagnet tools
in enterprise WLANs. AirMagnet says prerequisites to taking the class are general
understanding of LAN topologies, the OSI model, and the various functions of
devices on a network. The course will cover basic introduction to what the AirMagnet
programs do, and WLAN info on radio frequency, antennas, 802.11 architecture,
how to do a site survey, and security issues.
The lecture classes in the United States will start in February in Washington
DC and Las Vegas; there will be classes in Atlanta, GA, in March, and Los Angeles
in April. The first overseas class will be in Tokyo, Japan, in March. European-based
classes should also start then. Visit www.airmagnet.com for the full schedule.
The North American classes will be taught by the Institute for Network Professionals; overseas
sessions will be handled by TOYO Corporation in Japan and Global Secure Systems
(GSS) throughout Europe.
The course costs $1295 for the two days. It’s hands-on, and the company will
provide AirMagnet equipped handheld PocketPC units to attendees for the two
days; there’s no need to purchase AirMagnet ahead of time to take the class.
