While there are no specific prerequisites for this course, some exposure to telecommunications or IT, and a very basic understanding of GSM and WCDMA, will be helpful. The course listed above is a recommended prerequisite that can help provide the necessary background.
- Course in a Nutshell
-
This “business men’s introduction” to LTE/SAE and 4G the next generation of mobile networks, will help you understand how LTE evolved from GSM, GPRS/EDGE, UMTS, and HSPA; how it compares with competitive technologies such as WiMAX; the architecture of an LTE network and its implications for the transmission network; and the value-added applications and services that LTE can support. All of this will be discussed in a manner understandable to an audience of non-engineers.
- Customize It!
-
- If you are new to wireless and to GSM/WCDMA, we can enhance this course with a 1-2 day wireless/GSM/UMTS introduction that will help you get more out of this course on LTE/SAE.
- Is your job focused more on marketing/sales, applications/services strategy, or the economics of network evolution? Tell us where your principal interests lie, so we can emphasize the issues that are most relevant to your needs.
