CWNA Class OKC

I just wrapped up another CWNA class in Oklahoma City. What a GREAT city! I loved the 21c hotel here. Definitely worth checking out. Beautiful spacious rooms and they have converted the property into an art museum. Great restaurant too!
I had three wiz-bang students that I fully expect to pass the CWNA within the month. Pioneer Networks technicians that will soon join the distinguished ranks of CWNAs.
Questions came up about dual band 5ghz AP's and I had to show the the GT Hill video from the WLAN Pros conference GT Hill
The students knew GT from previous Ruckus training. We had a blast watching it.
THe WLAN Pros conference opened my eyes to a lot of ways to improve the CWNA class. I used the new Eye PA tool that Joel from MetaGeek demonstrated at the conference. It's a great way to show packet analysis. I also used the Savvius Omnipeak tool to show packet capture. The next step is to get some Netbeez from Panos and use them for network analysis. He's set to give me a class on them this week. Other tools that I like to use to teach the class are:
Wireshark. I've collected quite an assortment of pcap files that we can look at.
InSSIDer -the $20.00 version is great to show spectrum analysis
Emanim used to display raio waves in the time domain.
Thatnks to the community for helping me to improve this class!
