The UISP Broadband Wireless Admin (UBWAv2) course is a two-day, in-class training course that teaches the most important concepts in Outdoor Wireless Networking. The course has been completely re-designed with new course materials and lab activities using airMAX-ac equipment, while special emphasis on how to design, build, and manage a successful Wireless ISP.
