| Introduction: |
| |
Communications networks are rapidly evolving into policy-based, packet-oriented networks designed
to provide a particular quality-of-services (QoS) for subscribers while reducing the costs associated with capital
expansions, network operations, and management. If you are involved with telecommunications engineering, deployment,
strategy, marketing, or services creation, it is critical that you understand the technology and business implications
of IMS.
In this IMS course, you will study IMS from all angles including the technology, status of wireless and wireline
standards, key challenges posed by the technology, financial drivers for its adoption, deployment, and even security
considerations. You will also study the issue of network policy and how the different levels and types of policies
for QoS and admission control have important bearing on traffic engineering in the evolving networks. We will conclude
with a look at the future of telecommunications networks, including a flat, all-IP infrastructure. |

| Audience: |
| |
|
Those responsible for telecommunications planning, design, engineering, deployment, business
strategy, marketing, and services creation.
- Are you a network engineer with a mobile or fixed wireless operator? Let us know the areas
of interest to you – whether -- planning, growth, capital budgeting, or operations – so we can tailor the course
accordingly.
- Are you an RF engineer who would like to “fill in the holes” in your knowledge of core networks?
If so, we can present an overview of the state-of-the-art of core networks and how IMS fits into it.
- Are you in marketing and interested in value-added services? Let us know so we can focus
on the types of new services that are enabled by IMS.
- Are you a manager or executive involved with technology strategy? If so, we can emphasize
the economic impact of the technologies such as capital expenditure, meeting financial targets, parts of the network
that may be candidates for cost savings versus those that may not be, and the economic issues posed by the potential
technology migration options.

| Prerequisites: |
| |
| While there are no specific course prerequisites, the standard presentation of this course assumes
a bachelor of science in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related subject along with an appropriate
background in communications. However, the course presentation style can be modified to suit a less technical audience
as needed. |
| |
| Customize it: |
| |
| This 3-4-day IMS 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 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. |
