Course Overview
The Telecommunications landscape is in a constant flux of change. For the Non-Technical professional, Technical competence is strategic in this ever-changing Industry. The ABCs of Telecommunications provides Non-Technical Professionals the fundamental Technical concepts in the area of Wireless and Wireline Technology. The course starts from a discussion on Modulation and Multiplexing techniques and proceeds to branch out into Wireless Technologies: AMPS, NMT, TACS, GSM, GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE and Third generation technologies.
SDH Transmission Systems
Course Date & Venue
06 July - 10 July 2009 (Mon - Fri)
5 day instructor-led training, 0900-1700
Accra, Ghana
Course Overview
The SDH technique features numerous accessory functions and advantages, beginning with its very high transmission capacity. Today, SDH has replaced most PDH systems, except in some radio relay systems. High capacity SDH backbone networks are the transmission infrastructure not only of legacy telephone networks, but also of packet-switched broadband networks (ATM, IP). Newer developments of SDH, namely Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS), further enhance its flexibility and capabilities, and make it the transmission technology of choice also for high-speed data transport networks.

Microwave Transmission Engineering & Link Planning
Course Date & Venue
13 July - 17 July 2009 (Mon - Fri)
5-days Instructor-Led training, 0900 - 1700
Singapore
Course Overview
This training course provides a strong background in the area of planning telecommunication transmission networks using modern Radio-relay Digital Microwave radio. It covers in detail all the important aspects of radio propagation, starting from free-space loss and absorption loss, followed by statistical analysis of various phenomena impairing radio reception process - rain, multipath fading (both flat and selective), K-factor variation and ducting. The course also reviews basic parameters of the microwave radio systems, antenna, transmission lines and all other auxiliary equipment used during implementation of microwave radio-relay sites.

Course Date & Venue
13 July - 17 July 2009 (Mon - Fri)
5-day instructor-led training, 0900 - 1700
Accra, Ghana
Course Overview
The attendees will understand the Optical Communications and DWDM from basic concepts to advanced areas. They will go through designing and planning issues in addition to deployment and operations problems, and this knowledge should help them in their jobs. They will get acquainted with the new trends and emerging technologies in the areas of Optical Communications and DWDM.
3G Benchmarking & Optimisation
Course Date & Venue
19 July - 23 July 2009 (Sun - Thu)
5 days instructor-led, 0900-1700
Dubai, UAE
Course Overview
This is an in-depth and practical training course that explains how to identify the main problems, measure and optimize today's UMTS live networks. It provides a solid background for daily 3G work activities covering a wide range of benchmarking and performance measurements that help to troubleshoot and optimize the 3G networks. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and measurements (i.e. throughput measurements, success/failure analysis, handover analysis etc...) that are not described in the 3GPP documentation but derived through practical experience will be discussed.
Pathloss IV Workshop
Course Date & Venue
20 July - 22 July 2009 (Mon - Wed)
3-day workshop with hands-on practical sessions and case studies, 0900 - 1700
Singapore
Course Overview
Participants of this course will be able to plan microwave point-to-point links using software planning tool Pathloss 4.0, including ability to analyse data from path surveys, create respective profile data and decide upon antenna heights, calculate Performance and Availability percentages of the link and optimise them with respect to the ITU-R objectives as well as cost-effectiveness. They will be able to perform frequency planning for large networks, avoiding their design to suffer from harmful interference.
MPLS and IP Traffic Engineering
Course Date & Venue
27 July - 31 July 2009 (Mon - Fri)
5-day Instructor-led with GSM Project Exercise, 0900 - 1700
Islamabad, Pakistan
Course Overview
The course is of utmost importance for all engineers responsible for deploying advanced MPLS services in Service Provider backbones. It is a recommended training for individuals seeking advanced MPLS based knowledge and skills. The course will enable learners to gather information from the technology basics to some of the more updated features and functions such as Traffic Engineering. The focus of the course is on technology issues of MPLS from the Service Providers perspective and how to configure some of those features and functions in an existing routed environment.
