Description
Reliable internet access remains a challenge in many regions around the world, creating opportunities for entrepreneurs and network engineers to build Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) that deliver connectivity to homes, businesses, and communities. With the right network design and equipment, a WISP can be launched with a relatively low investment while providing valuable services to customers.
This course provides a practical introduction to building a Wireless Internet Service Provider using MikroTik products. Students will learn the fundamental concepts behind WISP networks, how to select the appropriate equipment, and how to deploy a functioning wireless network capable of delivering internet access to customers.
The course focuses heavily on hands-on labs, allowing students to gain real-world experience designing, configuring, and operating a basic WISP environment.
Topics covered include:
- WISP Fundamentals
- Wireless Network Design
- Selecting MikroTik Equipment
- Point-to-Point (PtP) Wireless Links
- Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) Networks
- Customer Connectivity
- IP Addressing and Network Design
- Bandwidth Management
- Wireless Security
- Network Monitoring and Troubleshooting
- WISP Deployment Best Practices
Through practical lab exercises, students will learn how the various components of a WISP network work together and gain the skills needed to build and manage a wireless internet service operation.
By the end of the course, students will understand the core technologies required to deploy a WISP and will be able to design and implement a basic wireless network using MikroTik equipment.
