About Glenn Cate, Cwne - Wlan Design Engineer

“Wi-Fi isn’t hard—how difficult is it to not install wires?” Joking aside, Glenn Cate understands the detail and complexity of WLAN design and thus, has achieved CWNE #181, Ekahau ECSE Design #125, ECSE Troubleshooting #107, and other WLAN and IoT certifications. Glenn has over twenty-eight years of IT and WLAN design experience with an industry-leading VAR (Presidio), one of the world’s largest distributors of technology products, services, and solutions (Tech Data) and presently, is the wireless product line manger at the largest power utility in the US (Duke Energy). In addition to holding an A.S. degree in electrical engineering, Glenn is an amateur radio operator (Extra Class-N4GRC) and has a passion in designing and building antennas. He can be reached on Twitter (@grcate) and has indexed "the best and most comprehensive Wi-Fi blogroll on the web" at https://gcatewifi.wordpress.com. And when you get a chance, ask him that wireless question everyone wants to know: “In your opinion, how difficult is it to not install wires?” :-)
