Hope this topic best fits here...

I have the CCNA, and the CWTS.

I took a Cisco Wireless class at a Cisco Academy a few months back, and I am waiting on some videos to be finished by INE.com for the new CCNA Wireless exam from a boot camp they ran last week. I am going to take the CCNA Wireless in a month or so.

I also just read, Matthew Gast�s new book �802.11n: a Survival Guide�, this was a great book by the way.

After I take a Cisco Voice class in a few weeks, I think I might want to swing back around and try the CWNA exam.

What I am wondering, is how much of the CCNA Wireless might relate to CWNA?

I am going to pick up the new PW0-105 book before taking the CWNA.

Here is an added thought; do may wireless pros also hold an Amateur Radio (Ham) license?

CWNA and CCNA-W cross approximately 30-40%. The most success occurs when an IT pro preps for and earns CWNA and then goes for CCNA, as all of the technology-related questions on CCNA-W are covered in prep for CWNA.

I'll let others chime in about HAM radio operators. I've spoken with quite a few over the years, but cannot offer any sort of statistics; however, that RF knowledge can only help you in Wi-Fi.

I'm taking the HAM Technician exam on June 9th. I've been meaning to do it for 3 years now, and was prepared to take it in 2009 just before they changed the exam. I'm looking forward to being a member of another awesome wireless/radio community (CWNP being my first, of course!). I may pursue higher levels of HAM licensing, depending on my experience with it.

I took both exams and I would say that CWNA will definitely prepare you for general 802.11 questions which you will meet in CCNA Wireless. You would answer them easily if you prepared well for your CWNA. Of course, you will meet Cisco-specific questions.
I can not tell you exact share of general and Cisco specific questions in your IUWNE exam. But if you look for exam topics (https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-13567) you will find "Describe WLAN fundamentals" section, which is 100% sure covered by CWNA.

Cool, thanks folks. I got the videos I have been waiting on from INE for CCNA Wireless, I will be watching those to start with for the next exam.

I've been studying for CCNA-W and someone mentioned the CWNA to me. Because I've been working almost exclusively with Cisco wireless products lately I figured I'd go ahead with the CCNA-W and then CWNA.

Has anyone here ever deployed a Cisco 2504 WLC ?
