Introduction:
 
As UMTS proliferates worldwide, there’s growing demand for a good, strong course on UMTS. This course is that. In this course, you will learn the architecture and operation of UMTS-FDD as it impacts the design and optimization of a UMTS-FDD network.

We will begin with a close look at the architecture of a UMTS network, with emphasis on the FDD mode. We will learn about both the optional and mandatory features of UMTS-FDD. We will also discuss the relationships between the logical channels, transport channels, and physical channels in a good deal of depth. All of this will allow you to exploit the technology’s strengths to come up with better network designs, trouble shoot performance problems, and identify solution approaches. It will also help you interface with vendors more effectively.
 
Audience:
 
Those with some CDMA background who wish to learn more about UMTS-FDD. 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 engineering.
 
Prerequisites:
 
  • Knowledge of the wireless network structure and operation, RF propagation and fading issues, and link budget analysis.
  • At least two years experience in the design and optimization of a wireless network using any major technology.
 
Customize it:
 
This 3-4-day UMTS-FDD: Network Architecture, Operation, and Design 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.
