Overview: AirMagnet WLAN WiFi Analyzer & Spectrum XT Troubleshooting OJT training focuses on the acquisition of wireless analyzer skills in the workplace. We begin by coaching key concepts then guide the student use those concepts when analyzing their own wireless network. We will gather actual data at your location. Our instructors’ real world experiences help demonstrate additional concepts. After this engagement, the students will produce a final analysis and detailed report.
WLAN WiFi Troublshooting OJT ensures your team has the knowledge and skills to analyze your WLAN network. We design our training with feedback from the software developers, field engineers, trainers, and our customers to ensure your team gets the best knowledge transference possible. We continuously review and update our training to maintain the highest standards.
