31 May - 02 June 2010
(Mon - Wed) 3-day instructor-led training with case studies, 0900-1700 Lagos, Nigeria
Course Objectives
The goal of "UMTS Benchmarking and Performance Excellence"
is to present details and up-to-date information on the UMTS
standard. The participants will become familiar with the
features of the UMTS standard and why and how it evolved.
The participants will learn about practical performance and
deployment issues specific to the UMTS. They will have a
first hand interaction with the KPIs and cluster and network
optimization and benchmarking.
Course Overview
As UMTS-FDD proliferates worldwide, there`s growing
demand for a good, strong course on the design and
optimization of UMTS networks. We created this course to
respond to that need.
In this course, you will build on your existing knowledge
of the UMTS network architecture and operation by learning
how to benchmark and optimize a radio network based on the
FDD mode of UMTS. We will learn both the user and network
equipment protocols. We will cover in detail the connection
of the FDD RAN to the 3G core and IP networks. We will also
study in depth the dimensioning and optimization of radio
network parameters. All in all, the course will help you
design UMTS-FDD networks that provide optimum
performance
for broadband wireless services while also being cost
effective.
Key Benefits
The participants will gain a detailed end-to-end knowledge
of the UMTS technology, its benefits and potential pitfalls.
Pre-Requisites for Participants
A basic knowledge of GSM/CDMA and UMTS, IP and data
communication technology will be required.
Who Should Attend?
For Technicians, engineers and managers responsible for
planning, design, optimization, and operation of UMTS
networks and indoor design services.
