CWNP

25% off, 25 days, 25 years of CWNA. Here's what's actually in the pre-order.

📘 Digital study guide. Every CWNA-110 objective, in order. This is the part that teaches you why wireless behaves the way it does instead of which menu to click.

eLearning. The same material, taught rather than read. If you learn better watching someone work through RF behavior than reading about it, start here.

📝 Practice tests. The one people skip and then wish they hadn't. The study guide tells you whether you recognize the material. Practice tests tell you whether you can apply it with a timer running, which is the actual exam condition.

🎟️ Exam voucher. One CWNA-110 attempt via CWNP Remote Proctoring or Prometric testing center. Buy now, schedule when you're ready.

⭐ Bundles. Any combination, and pay less than buying them separately - and the 25% comes off on top.

🛒 Pre-order pricing ends Sept. 28, 11:59 p.m. ET.

Happy Labor Day from the CWNP team!

To everyone who's ever gotten a call about the Wi-Fi being "down" while trying to enjoy a day off...we see you. Thanks for keeping the networks running so the rest of us can actually log off today. 😉

Enjoy the long weekend.

📢 25 years. 25 days. 25% off.🎉

CWNA turns 25 this year. To mark it, every CWNA-110 pre-order is 25% off for the next 25 days.🤩

The reason CWNA has outlasted 802.11b, 802.11n, 802.11ac and now Wi-Fi 7 is that it never taught you which menu to click. It taught you why RF behaves the way it does. This is knowledge that holds up no matter whose access points are on the ceiling.

CWNA-110 launches September 28. Pre-order the digital study guide, practice tests, exam voucher, or a bundle before then and save 25%.

Hotel and conference Wi-Fi networks are being used to push fake software updates loaded with malware, according to Microsoft threat intelligence.

Here's how it works: you connect to what looks like a normal hotel network. The captive portal prompts you for a routine-looking update or security check. That single click hands over device access. No encryption flaw required.

This is a trust exploit built on top of a captive portal, exactly the kind of social engineering vector that firewalls and encryption alone don't stop.

Wireless security professionals who understand rogue AP detection, captive portal risk, and authentication frameworks at the protocol level are the ones who catch this before it becomes an incident. That's the depth CWSP is built for.

Traveling for work this fall? Reject any software update, certificate, or "security tool" offered through a hotel or conference Wi-Fi login page.

📘 Wi-Fi Word of the Day: PIM (Personal Information Management)

Not every wireless standard you need to know is 802.11.

PIM shows up in Bluetooth devices, and it's exactly what it sounds like: a way to store personal information like contacts, calendar items, notes, and email messages directly on a mobile Bluetooth device.

Here's where it gets useful. PIM Synchronization lets that stored information sync between the Bluetooth device and a personal computer. Update a contact on one, it shows up on the other.

It's a small piece of a much bigger picture, but it's a good reminder that wireless professionals don't just live in the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz world. Bluetooth, IoT protocols, and the standards that connect them all matter too.

AI is already inside every platform your team works on. The question is who understands it well enough to explain it.

Cisco, Aruba, Juniper Mist. Every major platform is shipping AI into the core: AIOps for monitoring, AI-driven security analysis, automated remediation. That's a good thing for your team's speed. It's a harder thing for a client conversation when someone asks how a decision got made and the honest answer is "the platform decided that."

The CAIAE (Certified AI Administrator and Engineer) gives your team the operational AI knowledge to close that gap: how to plan, implement, manage, and secure AI solutions across environments, without needing a development or data science background. It's vendor-neutral, so it applies across every platform your clients run, not just the one you sell.

40 questions. 100 minutes. The full bundle includes elearning, a practice test, and the certification exam, and your engineers can work through it on their own schedule.

The live class already ran. The certification is still open.
