GPRS System Overview:
 
GPRS is a packet-linked technology that enables wireless internet and other data communications. GPRS provides more than four-times faster speeds than conventional GSM systems. Using a packet-data service, subscribers are always connected and always on line so services are quick and easy to access.
 
Audience:
 
This course is ideal for IT professionals requiring a technical foundation in GPRS.
 
Prerequisites:
 
No prior knowledge of mobile communications is required.
 
Customize it:
 
This 2-3-day GPRS 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 ame 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 need 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.
