HABIB UNIVERSITY CONTINUING EDUCATIONMOBILE COMMUNICATIONS 3G COURSE

TRAINING COURSE OVERVIEW3G systems and services are making a significant impact on the mobile communications industry by providing an enhanced user experience.This highly interactive 3G & 3.5G training course offers an excellent grounding for those who need to understand the scope, implementation options, business drivers and rollout strategies for 3G.This course covers 3G technologies such as W-CDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA, cmda2000, IP and IMS, as well as services and applications in just 3 highly focused days training. This course also now includes a Long Term Evolution (LTE) update.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND THIS COURSE?Attend this highly interactive 3-day course and you will:

• Understand the requirements for 3G Networks, chart migration strategies (incl. radio and core networks requirements and the evolution to all IP networks) and discuss how these are being met in practice and their likely success

• Gain an understanding of IMS including its benefits, features and potential services

• Draw a simplified schematic diagram showing the network and service architecture of the evolving 3G system

• Learn the principals and capabilities of CDMA technology and how these are applied to the radio interface used UMTS and cmda2000 networks

• Be able to compare its suitability against alternative access schemes (i.e. Wi-Fi and WiMAX) for specific applications

• Discuss the issues relating to planning 3G radio networks• Discover the likely role of 3G in the converging world of telecoms

• Describe the effect on the user experience that the evolution from 2G to 2.5G to 3G will have including the requirements of 3G handsets.

COURSE SUMMARY:• Evolution of 3G

• Services Overview

• The Network Infrastructure

• 3G Radio Access

• The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)

• Procedures – Bringing it all together

• LTE Update

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS COURSE?This course would benefit anyone looking for a thorough grounding in 3G and 3.5G technologies, including tech-nology choices and migration paths. Most delegates will have worked for leading operators, vendors and regula-tors across the world.

A basic understanding of telecommunications would be advantageous but is not essential.
