We’re excited to announce that Redway Networks’ Senior Pre-Sales WiFi Consultant, Lee Wright, has achieved the prestigious Certified Wireless Network Expert (CWNE #534) certification.
The CWNE is the pinnacle of the Certified Wireless Network Professional (CWNP) programme and represents the highest level of achievement in the wireless networking industry. This elite qualification demonstrates expert-level knowledge in configuring, installing, troubleshooting, and designing enterprise-grade WiFi networks.
Only 112 engineers across EMEA currently hold the CWNE credential, making Lee one of the most advanced wireless LAN (WLAN) professionals on the continent.
What Does It Take to Become a CWNE?
Achieving CWNE certification is no small feat. Candidates must successfully pass four advanced exams, submit a technical white paper and three detailed essays describing real-world WLAN deployments, and provide four professional endorsements from recognised industry experts.
This rigorous process validates not just theoretical knowledge, but years of hands-on experience in wireless network design and implementation.-1.webp?width=798&height=399&name=Achieving-the-CWNE-certification%20(1)-1.webp)
