Mobile comms training course description

This course is designed to give the delegate an understanding of the latest cellular technologies, firstly explaining the basics of RF technology, including antenna types, typical RF spectrum ranges and the importance of SNR, we will discuss and explain the importance of 2G/2.5G in the IoT world and the basic architecture requirements and procedures for GSM deployments.
We will then investigate the current fully deployed 4th generation environment and how this deployment moves fully into an all-IP environment.

What will you learn

• Describe the 2G/2.5G system architecture
• Describe basic 2G procedures
• Understand the importance of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) & Receive Signal Strength Indicators (RSSI)
• Understand the different types of antenna and their pros and cons
• Understand RF spectrum choices for different types of mobile deployments
• Describe the architecture of 4th Generation cellular
• Show the pros and cons of an all-IP deployment
• Describe 5th Generation and its Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualisation (NFV)
