Unit of Competency | ICTTEN5217A - Plan a wireless mesh network |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan a wireless mesh network comprised of radio nodes organised in a mesh topology. Wireless mesh networks provide users with secure wireless roaming beyond traditional wireless local area network (LAN) boundaries and are readily deployed in areas that lack wired backhaul.The mesh topology and ad-hoc routing give mesh networks stability, offer redundancy and have the ability to self-form and self-heal. Mesh networks enable local communities and those in remote areas to participate in a distributed shared network without the need for centralised management.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | Technical staff who work with wireless networking equipment or radio communications equipment apply the skills and knowledge in this unit to design a scalable wireless access network using mesh technology for growing communities.This may include planning officers and field officers from private and public organisations. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
