UMTS Planning and Optimization Training Course by ENO

As UMTS-FDD proliferates worldwide, there’s a growing demand for a good, strong UMTS Planning and Optimization Training course on the design and optimization of UMTS networks. We created this UMTS Planning and Optimization Training course to respond to that need.

In this UMTS Planning and Optimization Training course, you will build on your existing knowledge of the UMTS network architecture and operation by learning how to design and optimize a radio network based on the FDD mode of UMTS. We will learn both the user and network equipment protocols. In this UMTS Planning and Optimization Training, we will cover in detail the connection of the FDD RAN to the 3G core and IP networks. We will also study in depth the dimensioning and optimization of both the radio and core network parameters. All in all, the course will help you design UMTS-FDD networks that provide optimum performance for broadband wireless services while also being cost-effective.
