MikroTik Advanced Training, Carrier & Enterprise WiFi

3 Day Class, March 9-11 Houston, Texas

The MikroTik Wireless Engineer course digs deep into wireless theory and setup for Carrier Wireless Networks.  Don’t rely on rules of thumb, get the facts to properly plan and deploy outdoor carrier wireless networks.

CAPsMAN

No one has ever led a CAPsMAN training in the US so be the first to attend!

As a bonus, we will cover MikroTik’s newest product, their enterprise class WiFi technology CAPsMAN.  Controlled Access Point system Manager (CAPsMAN) allows centralization of wireless network management and if necessary, data processing. When using the CAPsMAN feature, the network will consist of a number of ‘Controlled Access Points’ (CAP) that provide wireless connectivity and a ‘system Manager’ (CAPsMAN) that manages the configuration of the APs, it also takes care of client authentication and optionally, data forwarding.

Don’t be fooled by cram courses with 4 certifications in one week, it simply can’t be done with any reasonable level of retention.

About The Class

This class is taught using the MikroTik curriculum. Classes will be held in the conference room of the Windham Wingate hotel as explained in the venue section below. The MikroTik Certification exam will be given during the class with instant results online. The exams are open book and 60% is required to pass.

Classes will be held inside the Hotel conference rooms. The hotel has a free shuttle to and from the airport. The class is a combination of lecture and hands on labs so students are required to bring a laptop, two 5 foot Ethernet cables and a power outlet strip.

A null modem serial cable (standard 9 pin D connectors) is helpful but not necessary.

The certification exam will be given with instant test results online.

Discount rooms will be offered, but lodging, meals and travel are at the student’s expense.

Please note: The certification exams are prepared by MikroTIk. Passing the exam will depend on fully understanding the class concepts and will require a good base knowledge of TCPIP and networks. LearnMikroTik.com is not responsible for the content of the exams or your ability to pass the exams. A grade of 60% is required to pass and the exam is given “open book”. I recommend purchasing my book “RouterOS by Example” and reading it prior to attending class if you are new to RouterOS.
