Introduction:
 
Planning the UMTS core network consist of GSN (GPRS Service Node) system design, MSC and registers dimensioning, OMC dimensioning, Core network interface dimensioning.The Core Network has several interfaces, which need to be configured and dimensioned. The Core Network hardware configuration is also vendor specific. Network vendors have very extensive documentation how to design all aspects of core network starting from the room environmental requirements up to the post integration system quality audit. The course covers the details of various functions of the Core Network including Mobility Management, authentication, security, roaming, call and session setup and evolution of the UMTS network towards an all-IP based network.
 
Audience:
 
Technical personnel who wish to know more about UMTS core network and the consolidation scenarios on how voice and data services can fall under a single network architecture
 
Prerequisites:
 
GSM/UMTS Core Network and packet switching technologies are preferred.
 
Customize it:
 
This 3-4-day UMTS Core Network 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. Please call or e-mail to schedule a no-obligation conference call to help us understand your audience background and training objectives.
