Hi Guys,

I think using 802.11a for indoor eases out the task of a network
administrator to some extent.

Down below are the Advantages
-------------------------------------

1)High throughput(can always use short slot time)
2) No Cracking/Hacking utilities(Known)
3) Only 802.11a Clients can see the network
4) No interference

Disadvantages:
-------------------
1) Devices are a bit costlier
2) Has Range limitations.
3) All notebooks doesnt have 802.11a cards inbuilt.

Advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Can some tell me if there are cracking or hacking utilities for
802.11a.

Guys can you add on advantages,disadvantages and make this thread
intresting.

Best Regards,
S.Senthilraj CWNA,CWAP,CWSP

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
