- Course in a Nutshell
-
This course is available in one- or two-day versions, with the duration depending on the desired degree of detail. We will begin by reviewing the development of wireless technology through the past 20 years. Having understood what drove the evolution of wireless from 1G to 2G and from 2G to 3G, we will take a look at WiMAX and other 4G broadband technologies now in planning or preliminary deployment. You will learn the important concepts and terminology and gain insight into the key technical and marketing challenges associated with WiMAX and other emerging technologies. All in all, this course will help you acquire a bird’s eye-view of where wireless has come from and where it’s headed.
- Customize It!
