Prerequisites

The participants should have a general knowledge of GSM/UMTS network functionality.

 

Training Structure

Four-day training divided into logical sessions. In addition, we strongly recommend that you put your theoretical training into practice with one more day of additional workshops - a perfect way to verify your just-acquired knowledge in real case analyses. These workshops are recommended for on-site trainings when access to monitoring of relevant interfaces can be granted.
