Introduction:
 
This three day course examines implementation issues which arise when rolling out a mobile WiMAX Broadband Wireless Access network. Mobile WiMAX is otherwise referred to a IEEE 802.16e Rolling out a wireless etwork is a complex and often expensive activity. The radio planning side is described in other courses but the ground network requires planning and installation of several components. One major such component is the ASN (Access Service Network) and its gateways.
 
Audience:
 

Anyone needing to be aware of the whole WiMAX Core network

  • Planning
  • Rollout
  • Live usage acting in architect
  • Planner
  • Manager
  • Systems engineer
 
Prerequisites:
 
This course assumes delegates understand WiMAX or are otherwise familiar with the principles of WiMAX (IEEE 802.16 and IEEE 802,16e). Attendance on the WiMAX Introduction course provides a suitable grounding. Some basic knowledge of IP (Internet Protocol) is assumed.
 
Customize it:
 
This 3-4-day WiMAX Core Networks & ASN Engineering 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.
 
Objectives:
 

On completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Appreciate the end to end architecture of WiMAX as opposed to the radio access method of the IEEE standard
  • Understand what is needed in the core network to support a WiMAX deployment
  • Understand what field measurements are necessary after implementation
  • Gain an overview of industry activities today.
