Our Conducting Cisco Unified Wireless Site Survey (CUWSS) v2.0 training program is a 5-day course, designed to help students prepare for the CCNP-Wireless certification, a professional level certification specializing in the wireless field. The CUWSS course is a component of the CCNP-Wireless curriculum. The CUWSS course is designed to give students a firm understanding of how to conduct a site survey and explores WLAN topologies for voice and data as well as location appliance services. Students will explore design strategies, including Cisco WCS planning tool, Cisco Spectrum Expert, AirMagnet Survey Pro as well as examine methodologies and project management. The CUWSS training class reinforces the instruction by providing students with hands-on labs. Learn more about his this course prepares you for your CCNP-Wireless certification below.
