What you'll learn
Learn the foundations of wireless networking. In this course, Wireless Networking Essentials: RF Fundamentals and Standards, you’ll gain the ability to demystify the invisible world of radio waves and protocol standards. First, you’ll explore the fundamental principles of radio frequency communication, including signal behavior, attenuation, and the decibel scale. Next, you’ll discover the evolution of the IEEE 802.11 standards family, comparing legacy amendments with the high-efficiency mechanics of Wi-Fi 6. Finally, you’ll learn how to navigate spectrum allocation, channel width, and the regulatory domains that define how wireless networks are deployed. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of wireless foundations needed to confidently explain, plan, and support modern Wi-Fi environments.
