19 April - 23 April 2010
(Mon - Fri) 5 days Instructor-Led, 0900 - 1700 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:
Understand about 3G and UMTS are.
Describe about 3G RAN Architecture
Learn about the services of 3G.
Describe the 3G principles, architecture & protocols.
Plan efficiently and optimize a 3G network
Learn techniques in providing indoor 3G coverage
Learn all about 3G repeaters
Benchmark 3G and 2G networks
Describe the evolution path beyond 3G
Course Overview
In this training, The service aspects, architecture,
operation and implementation strategies for 3G technology
are presented, together with the main issues involved in the
evolving the network toward 3G. An in-depth study of the
UMTS technologies, network structure and UMTS operation. The
course covers the basics of 3G networks, the technologies
involved, the architecture and the protocols involved. Radio
and core network planning is explained in detail and
emphasis is given to the techniques and technologies used to
provide indoor 3G coverage, as well as coverage using 3G
repeaters. KPIs and benchmarking of 3G networks is explained
extensively. Also, an in-depth study of what are the
technologies beyond 3G networks will be covered.
Key Benefits
Delegates will be trained on state-of-the-art knowledge
regarding 3G UMTS technologies.
Pre-Requisites for Participants
