With respect to vendor neutral training I would suggest starting with CWNP @ www.cwnp.com. They specialize in providing vendor-neutral Wi-Fi training and certification. Instructor led training is available via certified training partners. In addition, there are study guides available for

If he's wanting to make a metro/muni/variousterm wireless network though, he's very likely not going to be using Wi-Fi at all. Sure, many of the products may have a WiFi PHY layer, but for outdoor PtMP environments you're talking TDMA, not CSMA. He would be better served by some RF

They come from the outdoor WISP space, so most of their gear is 24v passive POE. However, they have multiple models of 802.3at/af switches now (up to 48 port), two routers with 24v/48v PoE output capability, and several UniFi APs that are either 802.3af or 802.3at. Josh Reynolds CIO,

Just watch it here if you're expecting to plug UniFi APs into standard 802.3af/at ports and get power. When I last interacted with them (customer equipment; year or two old, I believe) a lot of their WAPs are 24V, not 802.3af/at. The Pro and AC models are 802af/at. Only the “not Pro”
