Fundamentals of Emerging Wireless technologies for Managers & Technical professionals

 

Duration:                        3 days

 

Prerequisite:      No prerequisite knowledge is required.  Understanding of basic voice & data communications concepts is helpful.

 

Course Outline:      The evolution of 2G wireless networks to new “3G” standards and technologies is well underway.  Emerging 3G wireless standards are in constant flux.  This course offers managers and technical professionals a clear and concise detailed overview of emerging CDMA and TDMA technologies.  The future of 3G networks incorporates global roaming, high-speed Internet access, and even video conferencing all from a handheld device. 

TIA cdma2000, ETSI/ARIB WCDMA, the UWC (Universal Wireless Consortium) 136HS and the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) EDGE, and the new TDMA Bluetooth technology are all covered in this three-day course.
