VENDOR-NEUTRAL TRAINING Certification isn’t limited to the manufacturing


process. Seon, the world’s leading supplier of mobile sur- veillance equipment, according to IHS Group, has taken steps to see that engineers who install the company’s industrial-grade Wi-Fi video downloading networks be- come Certified Wireless Network Professionals (CWNP). Founded in 1999, this organization offers certification exams focused on IEEE 802.11 wireless networking technologies, a set of media access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) specifications for implementing wireless local area network (WLAN) computer com- munication in the 900 MHz and 2.4, 3.6, 5, and 60 GHz frequency bands. IEEE 802.11 offers four levels of expertise across six separate career certifications. “CWNP is the IT industry standard for vendor neutral enterprise Wi-Fi certification and training, said Martin Steenblok, Seon’s engineering services manager. “Ven- dor neutral means they are not tied into one brand’s methodologies. Tis gives our team the ability to adapt to whatever brand of IT equipment a school district may be using on their current network.” Steenblok, who is a certified wireless network admin-


istrator, said earning the designation requires “rigorous self-study and a tough examination process” covering security protocols, wireless design, analysis and trouble- shooting, network administration and implementation. Certifications range from technician up to expert level. “Investing the time and effort in CWNP certification helps school bus operators trust in the team’s ability to architect and support a wireless downloading system. It’s a level of expertise that is certified by a third party and recognized by network professionals. Tis is particularly important with large school districts who have sophis- ticated networks,” Steenblok said. “Having certified wireless network professionals analyze and design your system so it works without incident is essential. One of the main advantages of certification is the depth of expertise Seon is able to bring to the table to address our customer’s needs.” Te School Bus Safety Company took a less-traveled but equally effective route to earn an industry recog- nized seal of approval. Its president, Jeff Cassell, helped create driver safety training programs for school districts that were the first-ever recommended product by the National Association for Pupil Transportation.
