Course Title
From 2G to 3G: Evolution of GSM and IS95 to UMTS/HSPA and cdma2000
Course type
- Aimed At
-
Those with some wireless background who wish to study the GSM/UMTS/HSPA and CDMA/cdma2000 technologies side-by-side.
- Prerequisites
-
- Knowledge of the wireless network structure and operation, RF propagation and fading issues, and link budget analysis.
- At least two years experience in the design and optimization of a wireless network using any major technology.
- Course in a Nutshell
-
This course is one of a series of multi-technology courses for those who need to study in one place those technologies that are related to each other in some manner. The present course is aimed at those who wish to learn more about the evolution of GSM to UMTS, HSDPA, and HSUPA and that of IS95 or cdmaOne to the cdma2000 (1xRTT, EVDO, EVDV) technology family. The course duration, indicated as 3-5 days, depends on the desired depth of coverage.
- Customize It!
-
Customize this course to your own requirements at little-to-no additional cost. We can teach distinct versions of this course tailored for audiences such as network planners, equipment/application designers, and less technical audiences such as managers, executives, business planners, sales/marketing specialists, and operations and support personnel. The specific technologies discussed in the course, as well as the depth of treatment for each, can also be tailored to your need.
