COURSE OVERVIEW:

The purpose of this course is to provide practical technical expertise in the setup, management, and troubleshooting of modern wireless and telecommunication systems used in industrial and commercial settings. In an era of increasing mobility, wireless networks serve as a critical infrastructure for field operations, remote monitoring, and high-speed data transfer. This program focuses on the physical reality of signal propagation, ensuring that participants can overcome the environmental challenges that often hinder wireless performance.

The scope of this training encompasses a wide range of technologies, including Radio Frequency (RF) basics, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), and point-to-point microwave links. Participants will explore the mechanics of antenna design, frequency management, and the digital modulation techniques that allow for reliable data transmission over the air. The curriculum is specifically designed to address the practicalities of site surveys, signal strength mapping, and the mitigation of interference in crowded industrial spectrums.

Coverage includes the practical aspects of hardware installation, security configuration, and the use of spectrum analyzers to diagnose connectivity issues. Attendees will learn how to align high-gain antennas, configure wireless access points for seamless roaming, and implement robust encryption to protect transmitted data. By focusing on the practical "hands-on" side of wireless tech, the course ensures that participants can sustain the invisible but essential links that power the modern digital worksite.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Analyze the fundamentals of RF propagation and signal attenuation.
• Identify the characteristics of different frequency bands (UHF, VHF, 2.4GHz, 5GHz).
• Execute a comprehensive wireless site survey and signal heat map.
• Select and install appropriate antennas for specific coverage needs.
• Configure Industrial Wi-Fi access points and mesh networks.
• Implement Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint wireless links.
• Utilize Spectrum Analyzers to identify and mitigate RF interference.
• Configure Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS) and encryption.
• Troubleshoot "dead zones," latency, and packet loss in wireless loops.
• Manage Power over Ethernet (PoE) for remote wireless hardware.
• Align microwave dishes for long-distance telecommunications backhaul.
• Document wireless architectures and maintain frequency allocation logs.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Telecommunications Technicians, IT Infrastructure Staff, Field Engineers, and Wireless Network Specialists.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
