Course Objectives
HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) are the next big steps in upgrading WCDMA/UMTS networks. These two new radio capabilities enable a new set of packet-based services to go wireless in an efficient way. This training concentrates on the differences that HSDPA/HSUPA has brought to WCDMA radio access. The detailed information about WCDMA radio can be obtained from other courses.

Pre-requisites
The participants should have attended one of the following courses:

or they should have the equivalent knowledge about WCDMA/UMTS on intermediate level.

Training Structure
Two days training divided into logical sessions.

Methodology
Instructor led training.
