Course Objectives |
The goal of
“Specialized Site
Acquisition and
Design
workshop” is to
present details and
up-to-date
information
on the wireless
standards. The
participants will
become
familiar with the
features of the
wireless standards
and why
and how it evolved.
The participants
will learn about
practical
performance and
deployment issues
specific to the
wireless cell sites.
Antenna selection
and placement
methodology and
interference issues.

acceptable site
location while
working with
your RF engineer.
- Designing the
cell site
- Installation
tips for the antenna
placement
- Interference
effects
|
|
Key Benefits |
|
The participants
will gain a detailed
end-to-end knowledge
of the wireless
radio technology,
its benefits and
potential
pitfalls.
