CWNP Announces Update to Industry Standard CWNA Exam
New Technologies to be tested will include Single Channel
Architecture and 802.11n
ATLANTA–(EMWNews)–CWNP, the industry standard for wireless LAN training and certification
announces an update to the CWNA exam.
Launched in July of 2001, the CWNA exam is now in its 4th
revision. IT professionals from over 120 countries are CWNA certified.
Version 4 of the CWNA exam will incorporate two new major technological
advances to enterprise 802.11 deployment: Single Channel Architecture
(SCA) and 802.11n.
The new CWNA exam will be available at all Prometric and VUE testing
centers worldwide on November 3, 2008. The new exam number will be
PW0-104. With the release of the of the new exam PWO-104, exam
number PW0-100 will no longer be available as of close of business on
November 2, 2008.
Devin Akin, CTO of CWNP and the chief architect of content for all CWNP
curricula, says, “SCA deployments have reached
significant popularity and market share. Almost every Wi-Fi vendor is
shipping 802.11n-capable hardware and software, and 802.11n deployments
are common. We see a significant and urgent need to educate the industry
on these technologies.”
Cary Chandler, the President of CWNP, added, “It
is our goal to stay just ahead of the implementation curve for
enterprise Wi-Fi. With the updates to the CWNA exam, supporting
materials, and curriculum, we’re doing just
that. We’re seeing a market shift in
enterprise WLAN deployment because of the arrival of secure WLANs with
the capability to replace most edge or access networks. The properly
educated network engineer can do great things with secure 802.11n
networks in the enterprise today.”
Publishers McGraw-Hill and Sybex, a division of Wiley, will be
publishing updates to the current CWNA Study Guides. The official CWNA
WLAN Administration instructor led training courseware will be updated
in October 2008. The official CWNA practice tests will be updated in
November, and current license-holders will be automatically updated to
version 4 of the practice test questions on www.cwnp.com.
