Wireless# or CWNA

gabilan

I have net + and work like a network administrator and technician since 2003. I will like to get a new certificacition and wireless is my decision. Which certification I should get Wireless# or CWNA. Now in my job we are not working with anything wireless but I think in the future will do and also is field that is growing.

Thanks.

No, the "basic wireless stuff covered in Network+" can be covered easily in a single chapter, and that's far from the case with Wireless#. If all your wireless networking knowledge comes from Network+, you'll maybe know 10-20% of the the Wireless# topics and details.

Also, there are several topics in the Wireless# that aren't in the CWNA.

In that case I'd start with Wireless#, and go for the CWNA once you actually start working with wireless network technologies.

The CWNA only covers 802.11 wireless networking (http://www.cwnp.com/exams/pw0100_objectives.html). Wireless# covers a wide variety of wireless communications technologies, including Bluetooth, WiMAX, ZigBee, RFID, VoWLAN, and Infrared (http://www.cwnp.com/exams/pw0050_objectives.html).

A typical IT tech will only need to know how to administer and troubleshoot 802.11 networks. Unless you will be specifically working with the types of wireless technology covered on the Wireless# exam, I'd suggest going for the CWNA first and the CWSP after.

Thanks for your input. I will go with CWNA
