Implementing and Configuring Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul

Implementing and Configuring Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul is a 5-day instructor-led training program designed to help Network Engineers, Wireless Engineers, Industrial Networking Teams, and Operations personnel understand how to design, deploy, validate, and troubleshoot Cisco URWB solutions. The course focuses on using Cisco URWB to provide highly reliable wireless backhaul connectivity for fixed and mobile industrial environments where low latency, seamless roaming, resilient transport, and operational stability are critical.

Students begin by learning the purpose of Cisco URWB and how it differs from traditional Wi-Fi access networking. The course explains common URWB use cases such as industrial automation, autonomous mobile robots, yard connectivity, ports, transportation systems, remote cameras, temporary network extensions, and fiber replacement scenarios. Students then explore Cisco Catalyst Industrial Wireless platforms, URWB operating modes, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint designs, mesh and resilient topologies, VLAN transport, security, monitoring, and lifecycle operations.

The course includes detailed hands-on labs that guide students through initial device provisioning, URWB mode configuration, point-to-point backhaul deployment, VLAN transport, point-to-multipoint connectivity, encryption, logging, SNMP monitoring, mobility testing, and troubleshooting. Advanced sections introduce Cisco URWB Fluidity concepts for mobile assets, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 mobility, roaming validation, handoff behavior, and design considerations for moving systems that must maintain continuous application connectivity.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:

• Explain Cisco URWB Architecture
• Select appropriate deployment models
• Configure fixed and mobile URWB backhaul Designs
• Validate RF and Network Performance
• Apply security and monitoring practices
• Troubleshoot common deployment issues.

The course prepares students to support real-world Cisco URWB deployments in industrial, transportation, logistics, utility, manufacturing, and campus environments where reliable wireless infrastructure is required for business-critical operations.
