Course Overview

Course in a Nutshell

Although HSDPA builds on the UMTS structures, it presents some unique capabilities and challenges. Building on your knowledge of UMTS, you will learn the capabilities and complexities that HSDPA brings to the network structure and operation.  While HSDPA is conceptually simple, it leaves a number of implementation details to the individual equipment vendors.  Knowing how the HSDPA-enabled UMTS network is structured will allow you to ask the vendors the right questions, which in turn will allow you to make the right design choices.  All in all, you will come away from this class with a good understanding of how to design, implement, and optimize HSDPA networks.

Testimonials
  • “The instructor had a knack for explaining things in ways we could understand. I also liked the fact that he knew what he was talking about. He always had an answer; he was always careful to be thorough, not just give “yes/no” answers. Overall, this is one of the best training classes I’ve ever taken. Great job!” – A. Astley, Wireless Communications Engineer, US Department of Energy
