Introduction:

This one-to-two day course will not only help you master the jargon but also place the rapidly changing wireless technology in its proper perspective. The course duration is determined by the topics selected by the audience and the depth to which they are covered. The presentation will be in layman’s terms, but without sacrificing the technical depth or accuracy.

Audience:

Are you a non-engineering professional, managers, or executive who needs to have an understanding of the technology and business of wireless communications? Are you swept away by the technical jargon? If so, this course is for you.

Customize it:

This 1-2-day course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of wireless training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization’s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren’t too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our “standard”, one size fits all, class.

Objectives:

After completing this course you will: Learn the key telecommunications, networking, and cellular communications concepts that underlie all wireless networks Define the important terms related to wireless networks and technologies Explain how the wireless technologies evolved, the various families of technologies, and their interrelationships Describe the strengths, limitations, and operation of each of the major wireless technologies currently in use around the world List the factors that are driving the emergence of 2.5/3G, WiFi, and WiMAX technologies Describe how 2.5G/3G, WiFi, and WiMAX technologies fit into the wireless marketplace
