Course Overview

Course in a Nutshell

Customized Application for the Mobile network Enhanced Logic, or CAMEL for short, is an important standard for intelligent mobile communications networks. Now under deployment worldwide, CAMEL enables mobile network operators to offer value-added services quickly and efficiently. In this course, you will undertake a comprehensive study of this key technology. You will begin by understanding what intelligent networks are and how they evolved. You will learn the essential concepts and principles that underlie this technology. You will also study, in depth, all of the pertinent standards and specifications. You will learn not only how CAMEL works but also why it works the way it does. Throughout the course, you will receive practical guidance on how to design and deploy CAMEL networks. We will conclude with a discussion of the future of this technology. Whether you are a wireless or network design engineer, “service network” planner, or software/device designer, this course will help you master the powerful features of today’s advanced intelligent networks that are made possible by CAMEL.

 

Customize It!

  • Are you involved with network service logic design? If so, we can gear the course toward your knowledge/skills needs ranging from the basics of call control to the depth of complicated logic creation for GSM, GPRS and UMTS.
  • Are you a wireless or network engineer who would like to catch up with the state-of-the-art of intelligent networks? Let us know so we can focus on the areas that interest you the most.
  • Are you a GSM or UMTS installer who would like to learn the key concepts and theory that underlie your craft? If so, we can tailor the course to your background and needs.
  • Are you a manager, executive, or sales person whose work involves Intelligent Network systems? If so, we can emphasize those parts of the course that deal with the markets and applications pertinent to your project or product.
  • Are you equipment and application developer engaged in developing wireless devices, products, or services for the wireless industry? If so, we can turn this into a crash course on all that you need to know about CAMEL to get your job done.
  • Not familiar with GSM, GPRS, or UMTS? No problem, we can extend this course as required to cover the necessary prerequisites before we get into a discussion of CAMEL.
