Training Date: 28-29 July 2026

Training Time: 08:30 am–4:30 pm

The UISP Broadband Wireless Admin (UBWA) course is a two-day, instructor-led classroom training designed to teach the key principles of outdoor wireless networking and WISP network design using Ubiquiti technologies. This course focuses on how to design, deploy, manage, and troubleshoot wireless ISP networks, with practical learning based on airOS 8 and airMAX AC equipment. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of RF fundamentals, wireless link design, antenna theory, and network optimisation. Through a combination of theory and practical examples, students will learn how to plan reliable wireless links, improve network performance and implement best practices for scalable WISP networks. After completing the training and passing the certification exam, participants will earn the UISP Broadband Wireless Admin (UBWA) certification, recognised internationally and valid for two years.
