Course Title
1xEVDO: Network Architecture, Operation, and Design
- Aimed At
-
Those familiar with 1xRTT who wish to understand 1xEVDO.
- Prerequisites
-
You should possess good working knowledge of cellular network architecture and operation, at least one year work experience with any CDMA-based technology, and prior exposure to 1xRTT.
- Course in a Nutshell
-
Following IS95’s worldwide success, its evolution to bigger and better technologies was all but inevitable. The cdm2000 family of standards represents this evolution. While cdmaOne is certainly data-capable, its voice-centric roots are hard to hide. Designed specifically for data, 1xEVDO offers a rich set of capabilities, optimized for fast downlink data transfers with system throughput optimization as the major metric of performance.
Building on your knowledge of the 1xRTT networks, you’ll learn all the additional capabilities and complexities that EVDO brings to the network design, operation, and optimization process. This will help you interact more effectively with the equipment vendors as well as design better EVDO networks. Being conceptually simple, EVDO offers up only a handful of new ideas that must be mastered. However, it relegates a number of implementation issues to the vendor’s discretion. This course will allow you ask the right questions about the vendor-specific implementation details, which in turn will enable you to make smarter design decisions.
- Customize It!
-
At minimal to no additional cost, we can adapt this course to the specific needs of diverse audiences such as wireless and fixed network design/optimization engineers, research and development personnel, device or software designers, and those interested in business, managerial, or operational rather than technical issues (e.g., strategists and planners, marketing and sales, operations and support).
This is a ‘sister’ course to HSDPA: Network Architecture, Operation, and Design (HSDPA, 2 days). HSDPA accomplishes for UMTS what EVDO does in the cdma2000 environment. If your job requires comparative understanding of EVDO and HSDPA, they combine into a natural four-day course. Enquire with us about the ‘combo discount’.
