This course teaches you how Wi-Fi networks and clients operate. You will also learn to plan it for location, ranging, and analytics.

In this course, I will walk you through Wi-Fi from the core concepts up to the latest location and ranging techniques, including Wi-Fi RTT.

What will you learn?

1. What is the relationship between access points and stations?
2. Understand how an RF signal spreads in the air and attenuates.
3. Why are different data rates chosen in different conditions?
4. How stations share the Air?
5. How do they talk without interfering each other?
6. How stations discover access points?
7. You will learn how to analyze the traffic that is in your Wi-Fi network and get valuable insights.
8. How to calculate distances between clients and access points and get their exact location?
9. Learn the secrets to ranging and positioning, starting from classic propagation based methods as RSSI moving to the new high definition location technique - Round Trip Time of Flight used in Wi-Fi RTT.

Who should take this course?
