TETRA COURSE TUTORIAL

     
Course Name:   TETRA Training: Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) Training
     
Deployment Options:   Onsite - Instructor-Led Training
     
Course Duration:   2-3 days depending on audience background and options
 

Introduction:
 
An open digital trunked radio standard defined by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute).It is currently being used by the emergency services to replace existing PMR (Private Mobile Radio) systems. This course has been designed to provide TETRA engineers and technical professionals with a comprehensive coverage of TETRA services, network architecture, operation, air interface, security, billing and management.
 
Audience:
 

All Personnel responsible for:

  • The planning, design or specification of mobile radio solutions.
  • Supporting TETRA networks or equipment.
  • The evaluation or implementation of TETRA technology.
  • Operating network equipment that interfaces with TETRA equipment
 
Prerequisites:
 
Basic Knowledge of Radio and Mobile Network Fundamentals
 
Customize it:
 
This 2-3-day Tetra 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.
