This professional gathers and defines requirements in collaboration with the appropriate stakeholders in order to design wireless IoT networks and related infrastructure with appropriate security considerations. The CWIDP creates design documentation to support the deployment of the required system components and future operations.

CWIDP is built on the CWISA certification, which is a prerequisite to CWIDP. This certification covers:

  • Assessing existing IoT solutions
  • Gathering and definined requirements and constraints for a wireless IoT solution
    • Business and technical requirements
    • Documentation of requirements analysis results
  • Designing a wireless IoT solution to meet requirements
    • Selecting appropriate topologies
    • Designing appropriate channel and RF plans
    • Using wireless IoT design tools
    • Producing design and configuration documentation
  • Validating and optimizing the wireless IoT solution
