Literature from Connect802

The Literature section provides our comprehensive on-line Wi-Fi and wireless networking encyclopedia, sales literature and overview information about 802.11 Wi-Fi wireless networking PLUS advanced technical information about RF engineering and wireless network design. Need to know? Find it here!

	Wi-Fi: Just the Facts	"What can a Wi-Fi wireless network do for you?" This section explains the value proposition and how 802.11 Wi-Fi networking is becoming the "glue" for the exchange of computer data, accessing the Internet and email, and for voice telephony, video, and more.
	The Connect802 On-Line Encyclopedia	Technical terms, IEEE standards, and many wireless, wired, and telephony topics defined, described, and explained. The contents of the Encyclopedia are included when you SEARCH the Connect802 website, or you can look through the Encyclopedia page-by-page.
	Seminar Slide Presentations	Acrobat PDF versions of seminar PowerPoint slide presentations and technical training presented by Connect802. If you recently attended a seminar presentation and you're looking for the material, here it is!
	Technical Documents and White Papers	Our engineering team has tackled some challenging technical issues and has put together engineering documentation that makes the issues clear. A synopsis of each paper is included in the download index to let you know what's available.
	Tech Notes, Links, and Frequently Asked Questions	This is where the sales and support team at Connect802 often points customers when answers are needed to some of the more often asked questions about wireless networking. We've included links to other interesting sites as well.
	Recommended Reading and Reference Books	When students in technical training programs and customers ask, "Can you recommend a good book that will help me?"...this is our list. We've also provided a mini-review of each book to tell you what it's about, and the target technical level that we think the book addresses
	Technical Trivia and Silly Things	Networking poetry, the humorous Internet RFCs, and some silly cartoons.. PLUS some obsolete technical specifications that have almost been lost to antiquity.
	Wireless Connectivity Update	Recent articles from our on-line monthly news magazine, "Wireless Connectivity Update"
	Connect802 Product Literature	Acrobat PDF versions of the Connect802 sales data sheets

The Literature page brings you 802.11 Wi-Fi wireless networking technical information, WiMAX 802.16, WMTS, and 2.5G and 3G cellular technical information. Do you need Wi-Fi training? The place to start is with the self-study Wi-Fi materials, wireless networking books and white papers, and Connect802 seminar and trade show presentation material here. Be sure to explore the Connect802 Antenna System Designer, an on-line RF calculator for link budget, path loss, near-field, antenna tower and mounting heights, earth bulge, refractive index, and more!. If you're in an accredited training program working towards a degree in telecommunications or any university degree program involving wireless networking or Wi-Fi communication, the information here is one of your best options for getting accurate technical information about 802.11 Wi-Fi wireless networking. Connect802 supports the Planet 3 Wireless Certified Wireless Network Analysis (CWNA) program and recognizes the importance of professional certification and training with Wi-Fi certification programs like CWNA, CWSP, CWAP, and the Cisco Wireless Certification (CQS). You should be able to get an understanding of how the Connect802 802.11 site survey, Wi-Fi consulting and design, and patent-pending product packaging design differs from the use of wireless network analysis and troubleshooting tools like Network General SnifferPRO Wireless, WildPackets AiroPeek NX, Ekahau site survey and prediction software, Trapeze Ringmaster, Wireless AirTraf survey tool, and products from Proxim and Cisco, plus the ORiNOCO Smart Wireless Suite. Using advanced Wi-Fi 802.11 tools let you "see" wireless LAN's and 802.11 site survey tools include spectrum analysis. Tools that allow scanning 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g networks simultaneously is a nice feature, but proper design up front is the key to ultimate success with Wi-Fi wireless networking. The literature, E-Magazine newsletter, on-line Wi-Fi encyclopedia, and other documents and Wi-Fi technical references here can help you understand, compare, and contrast network management software, consulting, training, packet analyzers, protocol analyzers, network monitoring, network troubleshooting, network analysis, web metrics, TCP/IP test tools, wireless LAN's, wireless LAN analysis, wireless network analysis, uses for a wireless protocol analyzer or wireless packet analyzer. End users and resellers often demonstrate their networking proficiency by becoming certified. Preparing for professional certification requires access to technology facts, and that, too, is what you can find here in the Literature section.
