Course Objectives
This course will cover up-to-date information on the LTE technology and the corresponding 3GPP standards (up to Release 10). The focus will be on the LTE technology, design, planning optimisation and its applications. Participants will master all the required knowledge on LTE to confidently launch an LTE network designed for the next generation of multimedia services.

Pre-Requisite
A strong knowledge of wireless communication systems is required. Experience with 3G radio technologies is a must, preferably HSPA. Strong background (or practical experience) of IP related technologies and PC analysis tools.

Who Should Attend?
Technical managers that want to learn and understand in depth LTE, Technical managers that want to understand differences between LTE and WiMAX II, Development, application and deployment engineers that require a Master level of knowledge on everything LTE.
