- Course in a Nutshell
-
The Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) is the world’s dominant wireless technology. It’s no exaggeration to state that every wireless technology that has some since GSM has been impacted by it, at least in a conceptual way. This overview course sets the stage for a more advanced study of GSM and other technologies, both current and future.
After having taken the course, you will be in a position to describe the various components of a GSM network and their interrelationships. You will have a road map of where modern mobile telecommunications came from, where it is currently, and where it is headed. This will enable you to properly evaluate the plethora of claims and counterclaims being made by a number of existing and planned technologies.
