MTCEWE

MikroTik Certified Enterprise Wireless Engineer

The Result

After completing the course, you will: The training covers issues related to the interaction of devices in the radio spectrum, the principles of operation of various antennas and transceivers, and wireless network standards. Methods for troubleshooting problems when operating multiple wireless devices are studied.
Government regulations governing the construction of wireless networks are also discussed.
You will learn how to build high-density client access networks. You will study the principles of organising networks with "seamless" and "pseudo-seamless" coverage.
You will learn about CapsMAN, a free wireless access point controller from MikroTik.
We will study the changes that have taken place since RouterOS 7.13.
We will explore the new features of Capsman in the latest versions of RouterOS.
