This document outlines the course syllabus for two levels of certification in designing in-building wireless networks using iBwave Design software.
Level 1 covers basic radio wave propagation concepts, in-building propagation models, building modeling techniques, conducting propagation studies and measurements, importing survey data, model tuning and validation, and designing a complete project.
Level 2 builds on these concepts and covers advanced topics like MIMO theory and analysis, capacity planning, and designing wireless networks for stadium environments. It teaches how to use iBwave Design's modules for propagation prediction, data collection, and network optimization.
