Course Description

This course focuses on non-cellular wireless systems.  Wireless local area networks—most notably Wi-Fi—are studied along with their security features. Wireless personal area networks including Bluetooth (both legacy and low-energy), Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and RFID are also covered. Additionally, ad hoc networks, including mesh networks and wireless sensor networks, and Internet of Things (IoT) features are examined. The course concludes with a look at architecture and features of satellite communication, along with an overview of wireless positioning and location techniques.

Special note:  This course is one of four courses in a series addressing the overall technologies in wireless communications. Complete all four courses in this series to earn a digital badge. The four courses in the Intensive Wireless Communications series include:

1. Fundamentals of Wireless Communication, 6-7 March
2. Network and Service Architecture, 13-14 March
3. Cellular Networks, 3-4 April
4. Non-cellular Wireless Systems, 10 April
