View course dates

Course Duration: 3 days

Course Code: PWS055

Course Description:

This 3-day course is designed as an introduction to the planning, trouble shooting and operation of a WiMAX network. The course will introduce the concepts of network planning with the use of the Planet EV for WiMAX planning tool, plus it will cover possible routes for troubleshooting and operating typically networks. It will be assumed that the delegate will already have knowledge of or does not need specific knowledge of the technologies involved in WiMAX or WiFi procedures and concentrates on the planning and operation of the network itself.

Who should attend?

Engineers, network planners, and support staff, with a basic understanding of cellular or RF mobile networks. Plus basic WiMAX and WiFi technologies.

Prerequisites:

Delegates should have a basic understanding of RF mobile networks, and also exposure to WiMAX and/or WiFi technology.

Prerequisite courses:

Radio Principles Explained

Understanding WiMAX Wireless

Understanding Wireless LANs
