Introduction:
 
Another one in our series of courses on 3G LTE, a term that describes the ongoing evolution of the UMTS system to 4G wireless, this course is focused on the important task of network planning.

In this course, we will undertake an in-depth study of the considerations related to the planning of LTE networks including idle mode behavior, channel conditions, and frequency planning models. The course includes case studies to help you thoroughly understand the capacity planning process.
 
Audience:
 
This course is aimed at wireless network designers who have a good understanding of 3G LTE and wish to learn how to plan 3G LTE networks..
 
Prerequisites:
 
The course assumes an understanding of LTE technical concepts and architecture.
 
Customize it:
 
This 3-4-day LTE RF Planning 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.
