Wi-Fi Word of the Day (WOTD)

This is a sample definition for a sample word. Words of the Day are selected from the Words of the Day section.

CTS-to-self

- the protection mechanism as used by 802.11g standard in a mixed-mode environment where a station sends a CTS frame encoded in such a way so that legacy stations that do not understand OFDM transmissions can update the NAV and thus defer OFDM transmissions during that period. See also Protection mechanism, Protection mode, and RTS/CTS.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.
-Darren

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.
-Ben

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
