Since
2001, Ask-Wi.Com has trained
over 2500 people
across the United
States and Canada.
Our Classic 1-Day Workshop™ is the world's
first and
only WISP workshop that
addresses WISP design and deployment issues in a
learning environment that is:
•Vendor-Neutral (no sales people selling
equipment; in fact, we don't sell equipment)
•Real-World Knowledgeable
(48 years of wireless
experience)
•Supportive, Interactive, and Information-Sharing
In response to popular demand, we have introduced a
new 2-day
hands-on expanded workshop.
1. Vendor Neutrality -
We
do not sell wireless
equipment therefore we train you without pressuring
you to purchase a specific brand of wireless
equipment. We'll help you learn the "pros" and the
"cons" about the different equipment brands
so you'll be able to choose
equipment based on
your actual needs.
We'll show you how to look
beyond the advertising "hype" so you can
choose wireless equipment based on your
business goals,
your wireless environment,
and your budget.
2. Unique,
Real-World Knowledge- We've been designing, building, troubleshooting
and optimizing broadband wireless networks
since 1993. Our
workshop is based on lessons learned from
working with over 1000
real-world wireless client companies
since 1993 on
thousands of broadband wireless projects.
(We believe that we are
the longest existing
full-time broadband wireless
design/consulting/training company in the
broadband wireless industry) Did we mention that
we
"wrote the handbook"
for the industry?
We'll teach you to identify and to solve the
difficult real-world problems (Interference,
for example) that other "workshops"
never even mention!
3.
Interactive -
Our workshops are
NOT a boring one-way
lecture. They are
two-way interactive learning experiences. Bring your
questions and ask them! (We
don't holler at you and make you feel
dumb like some other wireless workshops do). We
want you to ask
questions and share the answers and insights
with others! You'll leave with the
knowledge
and the confidence
that you need to succeed
in the wireless business. No other workshops can
provide this - they just don't have our
patience, our experience, and our dedication.
4. Cost-Effective, On-Site
Delivery -
We'll bring our workshops
on-site to your company where you'll save
on the travel time, transportation costs, meal
costs, and lodging costs for your employees.
5. Follow-Up Assistance
-
After your workshop session, you and your staff
receive no-charge
consulting support over the phone.
You'll benefit

Workshop Contents
NOTE:
We continually update our workshop contents to
keep up with the rapidly-changing wireless ISP
business. The general outline for our "Classic
1-Day Workshop"™ is listed below however,
because of the interactive nature of the
workshop, we cover many additional topics,
including WiMAX and Mesh networking, depending
on the needs and interests of our workshop
attendees.
1. Introductions
Introductions and content overview.
2. The "Real World" - What is it?
Outdoor networks are not "plug and play".
Understand the challenges of deploying a
wireless network outdoors. Learn about the
"real-world" issues like
line-of-sight, fresnel zone, terrain,
trees, weather, noise, and interference from
other networks.
3. Fundamentals
of WISP Success
Learn how to minimize cost, deliver reliable
service, select equipment, manage your customers
expectations, and deal with local wireless
competitors. Learn what has worked for other
wireless operators and what has not worked.
4. Understanding Wireless Principles
Your understanding of wireless principles is the
foundation that you use when you build your
wireless business. Learn about wireless
propagation. Learn how to work with dBs,
calculate power levels and link budgets, measure
fade margin, and keep the fresnel zone clear.
Understand when to use direct-sequence spread
spectrum and when to use frequency-hopping
spread spectrum equipment and when to use them
both. Learn how to evaluate performance claims
for "non-line-of-sight" (NLOS) equipment.
5.Antenna Selection and
Design
Antennas are the single most important part of a
wireless system because they determine your
service area and at the same time, they expose
you to interference. Learn antenna principles so
you can select the proper antennas based on
gain, beamwidth, and polarization needs. Learn
about mounting height, downtilt, and diversity.
.
6. The Installation Process
An efficient low-cost installation process is
crucial to your success. Learn antenna mounting
techniques, cable selection, waterproofing,
lightning protection, tower safety, and tower
leasing. Learn how to build serviceable networks
and how to test and monitor your completed
installations.
7. Equipment Selection
Ask questions about different equipment
advantages and disadvantages.
Now you will be able to apply your knowledge of
wireless principles, real-world issues,
installation issues, and marketing hype, to
choose the best equipment for your market area,
interference environment, and budget.
8. Network Design Principles
Poor network design causes many time-consuming
problems. Avoid this frustration by learning
effective network design principles. Learn to
design sectored networks, select low-noise
access point locations, reuse frequencies,
manage bandwidth, build repeaters, and scale
your network up to serve more users.
9. Reducing Interference and Noise
You must understand the techniques used to
minimize noise and interference. Learn the
causes of interference and how to apply
noise-reduction techniques. Get a hands-on
demonstration of how to use a spectrum analyzer
to evaluate the level of noise and interference
before you commit to locating your access point
on a specific site.
10. Putting it All Together - WISP Success
Learn how to determine your "overselling" ratio,
evaluate the profitability of selling wireless
service, find skilled employees, proactively
monitor your network, build customer loyalty,
provide network security, interpret FCC rules,
and evaluate emerging wireless technologies.
11. Industry Update
We'll update you on the latest industry trends
and show you how those trends could affect your
network and your business. WiMAX, mesh
networking, municipal networks, 4.9 GHz, 3.6
GHz, 3G, VoIP, MIMO, smart antennas. Learn which
technologies will be useful and when to expect
these technologies will be available, practical,
and affordable.
Notes:
Questions, answers, and suggestions are
encouraged at all times.
Spectrum analyzer use and site survey training
is included.
Spreadsheet tools are demonstrated and
distributed.
