LTE Fundamentals Training:

LTE Fundamentals Training Course with Hands-On Exercises (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live)

LTE is a 4G wireless technology standardized by the 3GPP which enables support for broadband connectivity to mobile devices, permitting the delivery of demanding multimedia information to any device, anywhere, anytime. In support of this, changes to the core network are also defined as System Architecture Evolution (SAE), providing an all-IP bearer platform for the delivery of services.

This LTE Fundamentals Training course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the development, design, and capabilities of LTE/SAE. The course will begin with a review of existing 3GPP and alternative technologies.

The LTE access and core network elements are studied in detail, and methods for implementing the logical interfaces are discussed as well. The air interface is examined from a technology viewpoint as well as a procedural perspective. The course finishes with a study of signaling, interworking with non-3GPP networks, and the security capabilities of LTE/SAE.
