UMTS Systems Overview Training Courses Classes and Tutorials::UMTS System Training Course

Who should attend this UMTS course

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.

UMTS Course 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.

Lifetime Post-Course Support

After completing this UMTS 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.
