Course Overview

The operators already have UMTS/GSM mobile technologies already rolled out, It is obvious to look towards the next broadband wireless technologies for growth. This is the Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a very obvious expansion growth path. Providing its seamless connectivity and greater benefit of LTE makes it suitable to amalgamate with existing telecom infrastructure.

This course provides participants who are in Engineering sales, marketing and business leadership, with the necessary background information about the LTE technology, the key areas of changes happening in the mobile industry market, as well as the economics. It will demystify aspects of LTE for the technical or nontechnical or semitechnical personnel.
