Introduction:
 
This in-depth course covers all aspects of LTE, including:The environment and the forces shaping it, The physical changes involving MIMO antennas, the move from CDMA to OFDM, the logical air interface channels to the necessary architectural and core network changes, specific aspects such as security and handover to non-3GPP technologies, and the co-existence, or otherwise, of LTE and WiMAX.
 
Audience:
 
  • Technical personnel needing an in-depth understanding of LTE (Long Term Evolution).
  • Technical staff employed by or contracted to mobile network operators, manufacturers, integrators or regulators.
  • People needing to understand the LTE air interface or LTE core network should attend this course before attending the LTE Air Interface or Core Network courses.
 
Prerequisites:
 
The course assumes some familiarity with existing UMTS systems such as can be acquired by attending Lever Technology course 663, UMTS System Overview.
 
Customize it:
 
This 3-4-day LTE In-depth course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of Wireless training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization?s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really eed even if at the beginning you weren't too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our standard, one size fits all, class. Please call or e-mail to schedule a no-obligation conference call to help us understand your audience background and training objectives.
