Wireless Access and IoT Technologies

Catalog description

The networking industry has experienced phenomenal changes in the areas of wireless access networks, including the Internet of Things (IoT) that leverages sensors, wireless communication, mobile devices, networking and cloud technologies to provide intelligent services for energy management, logistics, retail, agriculture and many other domains. This course explores the various types of wireless access networks, including related applications, architecture, technologies, and performance topologies. Additionally, students will learn about IoT protocols, platforms, physical devices and security. Both wireless access networks and IoT will be explored through a series of lab assignments either hands-on or simulated and a course project.
