A solid product skillset is essential for success in today's fast-paced and competitive business landscape. This is especially true in telecommunications, where new technology is constantly emerging, and companies need to stay ahead of the curve to remain relevant. To help support this need, we at NTS Direct are offering a Grandstream certification course, where you will become a Certified Professional on Grandstream's GWN Networking Series.
Grandstream's Director of Support, Hieu Huynh, will cover setting up, deploying, and maintaining the GWN series of WiFi APs, managed switches, and routers.
