Wireless networks are much more versatile than wired networks, especially in an environment where running wires might be difficult. This course covers the most efficient wireless networking protocols for various scenarios. You will explore wireless frequencies and channels and learn how to differentiate between 802.11 standards: - a, - b, - g, - n, - ac, and - ax. Next, delve into considerations for working with long-range fixed wireless, including licensed, unlicensed, power, and regulatory requirements. You will also identify features of near-field communication (NFC) and radio-frequency identification (RFID). Finally, explore server roles such as domain name system (DNS) and dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), and discover the global market for Internet of things (IoT) end-user solutions. After completing this course, you'll be able to differentiate between wireless networking protocols and tune common host services. This course will prepare learners for the CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) certification exam.
