- duration
- 2-5 day(s)
- Aimed At
-
Those familiar with the basic architecture and operation of wireless networks as well as the GSM and CDMA technologies who wish to learn about the advanced wireless technologies including 3G, 4G, and beyond.
- Prerequisites
-
- Wireless Network Structure, Operation, and Technologies (3-4 day(s), WIRELESSNET)
- GSM: Network Architecture, Operation, and Design (5 day(s), GSM-I)
- cdmaOne/IS95: Network Architecture, Operation, and Design (2 day(s), IS95)
- Course in a Nutshell
-
This course, intended as a sequel to our Wireless Structure, Operation, and Technologies (WIRELESSNET, 3 days) course, builds on the GSM and CDMA knowledge provided in that course to discuss the advanced wireless technologies, including 3G, 4G, and beyond.
Covered are WCDMA (UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, 3G LTE), cdma2000 (1xRTT, 1xEVDO, UMB), WiMAX, OFDM, MIMO, and more. This survey of advanced technologies will help you better understand the complex landscape of current and emerging wireless technologies. It will also equip you with the basic knowledge you need to undertake a deeper study of the technologies that are of particular interest to you.
- Customize It!
-
We can customize this course to your specific needs at little-to-no additional cost. It can be customized to the varying needs of audiences such as network, equipment, or application designers as well as less technical audiences such as managers, executives, business planners, sales and marketing specialists, and operations and support personnel.
While the course can be taught in as few as two days, expanded versions of 3-5 days duration, that provide a greater depth and/or breadth of technology coverage, are also available.
This course can also be combined with its prequel, Wireless Structure, Operation, and Technologies (WIRELESSNET, 3 days), for an integrated 5-day treatment of the architecture, operation, and technologies from 2G to 4G and beyond.
