Course in a Nutshell

This 2.5-3 days course will not only help you master the jargon of wireless but also place the rapidly evolving wireless technology in its historical perspective. The course will discuss wireless in layman’s terms, but without sacrificing the technical depth or accuracy.

We will begin by learning the key concepts, techniques, and principles that underlie analog/digital communications and networking, and how they all came together in the “cellular” revolution that led to today’s wireless networks. We will also learn about the drivers, capabilities, and key applications of the emerging 2.5/3G and 4G technologies now under implementation around the world.

Upon course completion, you will have acquired a broad understanding of how wireless networks work, the forces that drove the evolution of the technology from one stage to the next, and the future of wireless – both from the technical and business perspectives. This will help you pose the correct questions and make the correct business decisions.
