Wireless ISP Training Course

    The first step for many people that want to launch a Wireless ISP (WISP) is to take a training course that will provide the sufficient knowledge on how plan, launch and operate a WISP. 

    There are several classes you can attend to learn more about building wireless ISPs. Each course includes a textbook entitled Deploying License-Free Wireless Wide Area Networks, a workshop training booklet, breakfast, lunch and a limited amount of free telephone and online consulting to clarify training topics after the class is over.

    Introductory Class - This class is perfect for new entrants to the broadband wireless industry. This class is tailored to cover the necessary subject areas in a quick 8 hour format. Click here to see a list of topics that will be covered.

    Intermediate Workshop - This class is perfect for new entrants to the broadband wireless industry that want to get more than a text book knowledge of building a broadband wireless network. This class is an expanded version of the 8 hour class. This covers the same information out of the text book and training workbook, but also includes real world network design excercises and a full tutorial on using a spectrum anazlyer to perform site surves and solve interference issues. The course lasts two days. Click here to see a list of topics that will be covered.

    Recent Class Attendee's Feedback

• Phillip Brisco, Glendale, AZ - "As far as the technical information that was presented, learning how to determine link budgets between the basestation and the customer premises equipment was the most advantageous part of the class."
• Jasson Adams, Dublin, OH - "The 8 hour class was great, but we think that attending the two-day session would give attendees more time to work through exercises and get more real world hands-on experience."


• Steven Heinrich, St. Paul, MN - "The 8 hour class was an excellent starting point to determine whether or not getting into the wireless ISP business would be the best decision for us."


• Felipe Montoya, Santa Fe, NM - "One of the most interesting things we learned in class was information about building small neighborhood wireless ISPs. It showed us how a small investment could really pay off if you put in the right amount of planning and marketing programs to sign up customers."
