HSPA Training Courses, Classes in HSPA+ HSDPA HSUPA DC-HSDPA DC-HSUPA MC-HSPA Training Course

Why this HSPA course?

This unique HSDPA training course explores each of the components of HSDPA in detail, explaining how they work in synergy to create this major step forward for UMTS. Delegates with existing knowledge of the architecture and operation of UMTS networks will find this course invaluable in understanding the components, operation and the technical issues involved in deploying HSDPA in UMTS networks.

HSPA Course Pre-requisites

Before attending the HSDPA training course, delegates must have a sound understanding of the architecture and operation of UMTS networks. One or more of the following courses are recommended as a pre-requisite to this HSDPA course:

UMTS System Overview training course
UMTS Architecture and Protocols training course
UMTS Air Interface training course.

Lifetime Post-Course Support

After completing this HSPA training course, delegates receive lifetime post-training support from LEVER Technology Group PLC, to help them apply the technologies and skills they have learned with us, to provide career-long support, and to ensure they are better equipped for their future roles in IT and networking.
