In this Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) course provides a comprehensive, end-to-end approach to enterprise wireless network design, guiding learners through a structured methodology that aligns business requirements, industry standards, and Cisco best practices. Beginning with the importance of planning and the Cisco Structured Design Model, the curriculum establishes a strong foundation in wireless standards, protocols, and the underlying science of RF behavior, enabling students to understand not just how wireless networks function, but why specific design decisions matter. Emphasis is placed on leveraging Cisco Design Guides and Cisco Validated Designs, understanding the role of project management in wireless initiatives, and applying standards from IEEE, the Wi-Fi Alliance, and relevant IETF RFCs to ensure interoperable, scalable, and compliant designs.
As the course progresses, learners explore Cisco-enhanced wireless features, infrastructure considerations, and mobility concepts, including intercontroller mobility, optimized roaming, and workgroup bridge scenarios. The wireless design process is examined in detail, from initial customer engagement and information gathering through design, deployment, validation, and project handoff, reinforcing a real-world, consultative approach to wireless engineering. Specialized modules address advanced and application-specific designs, such as high-density environments, campus and branch extensions, vertical-specific use cases, bridging and mesh architectures, location services, and high-availability strategies, preparing students to design wireless networks that meet demanding operational and performance requirements.
Hands-on labs reinforce theory with practical experience using industry-standard tools such as Ekahau, allowing students to perform predictive designs, analyze Layer 1 data, conduct site surveys, validate post-installation performance, and produce professional design and installation documentation. By the end of the course, participants are equipped to design, validate, and deliver robust Cisco wireless solutions across diverse environments, while developing the skills required to support certification preparation, earn continuing education credits, and confidently lead wireless design projects from concept through completion.
