Introduction:

A technical class covering the 802.16 standard, and the WiMAX implementations that are most relevant to your next design project. IEEE 802.16-2004 and 802.16e are standards for broadband wireless access technology. The 802.16-based implementations named WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) are used for applications that include mobile broadband, "last mile" fixed broadband connections, hotspot and cellular backhaul, and high-speed enterprise connectivity for businesses. technologies, trends, and issues. This course will provide the student with detailed knowledge on the contents of WiMAX and 802.16 standards, as well as WiMAX We have included content that is emerging from recent IEEE 802.16 working group meetings and letter ballots. These are the critical topics for today’s development projects.

Audience:

This course is designed for students who are working on WiMAX and 802.16 products and services, or expect to be working on those projects soon. A student who is just beginning to work on broadband wireless projects will gain a full understanding of the entire set of 802.16 standards. Students who are working in WiMAX will deepen their understanding of standards issues, operations and management concerns.

Customize it

This 2-day course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Enowireless 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 Enowireless, 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.
