Course benefits
The UMTS System Overview course has been designed to provide IT professionals with a comprehensive introduction to UMTS - the European 3rd Generation mobile cellular network.
The UMTS System Overview course examines the principles of CDMA as used in a cellular environment, cell planning considerations, network architecture, channel coding, the Air Interface protocol stack and UMTS Security features.
Who should attend?
Engineers, technicians and other technical professionals requiring a technical foundation in UMTS systems and technology. The course is particularly valuable for those who are in the process of converting from current 2G technologies (for example GSM) to 3rd Generation systems, and those who will be working closely with UMTS in a technical capacity.
Pre-requisites
Delegates should have an understanding of of radio principles and basic modulation techniques, along with a current mobile communications system, prior to attending this course.
