Course Overview

Course in a Nutshell

Today’s multilayer and multi-technology networks require an in-depth understanding of the inter-technology performance and mobility issues. HSPA and LTE networks, which are among the most prevalent, are the focus of this course. Multilayer cell design is a promising approach for broadband continuity but introduces many restrictions and coverage problems for RAN planners and optimizers. We will help you understand the HSPA/LTE interoperability performance, mobility optimization, and tuning issues and use that understanding to improve Quality of Experience for existing users as well as plan for the future network generations.

 

Customize It!

We can adapt this course to your own technical environment. If your personnel have a solid understanding of HSPA and LTE, some of the introductory material can be removed, resulting in a 5-day course.

 

Learn How To

  • Describe HSPA and LTE functionality and operability
