Course benefits
This unique two-day WiMAX Boot Camp training course is one of the most authoritative hands-on practical WiMAX training courses available.
This course is designed for students who will be installing and configuring WiMAX networks. With the knowledge and experience they acquire, the student will be able to configure the network for optimum Radio Frequency operation, traffic balance, and IP networking performance. Hands-on practice with configuration tools and hands-on labs teach immediately-applicable skills.
In public course settings, LEVER teaches industry-general WiMAX configuration skills, using an industry-leading vendor s set of WiMAX
equipment. In onsite course settings, we will work with your chosen vendor s equipment and tools to develop the specific configuration labs, for network-specific skills training.
This WiMAX course outline describes the generic curriculum for hands-on practical WiMAX training.
All WiMAX bootcamp training course attendees receive a comprehensive WiMAX course reference manual; WiMAX planning tools; and a demonstration copy of the EDX SignalPro® software tool, The course incorporates real-world WiMAX planning and design examples, WiMAX planning exercises and case studies.
