Course Duration: 2 Days
Deployment Option: Onsite Training
Course Price: $1499.00
   

Who Should Attend:
 
Anyone who is interested in SMS, EMS and MMS into existing 2G and 3G networks including Operators, Vendors, Investors, financial institutions and other vertical markets.
 
Prerequisites:
 
Basic knowledge of mobile networks (3GSM, CDMA)
 
Course Description:
 
With more advanced handsets and faster network connections, MMS (Multimedia Message Service) is set to succeed SMS as the next big thing in the mobile data services world.

MMS is the evolution of SMS, Short Message Service, which is currently moving toward the exciting Enhanced Message Service (EMS) for illustrated text messages.

MMS can transmit messages containing text, graphics, photographic images, audio and even video clips between mobile devices using Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) as bearer technology and powered by the high-speed transmission technologies.

This 2-day course explores SMS, EMS and MMS iin North American and EMEA networks.
