Course Objectives

This course presents Internet Protocol with underlying transmission technologies as well as higher level protocols and services. Extensive generic IP knowledge is covered and put into the perspective of mobile networks, in particular specific usage of IP-based services (such as .gprs domain or SIGTRAN) is included.

 

Pre-requisites

The participants are expected to have generic technical (telecommunication or computer science) background, and ability to understand technical topics. No specific knowledge is required, but familiarity with GSM or UMTS architecture and services would be beneficial.

 

Training Structure

Five days training divided into logical sessions.

 

Methodology

Instructor led training.
