Fundamentals of Wireless for the New Millennium

The future of enterprise networks will center on integrating wired networks with wireless networks. This course begins with an overview of the wireless market with emphasis on wireless data. The next set of topics covers the fundamentals of radio-based networks and the multiple access air interfaces used in contemporary wireless networks. The major wireless network implementations GSM, cdma, WiMAX,and LTE are explained and compared, as well as, the LTE vs WiMAX battle and the 4G wireless roadmap. The basic concepts of open systems interconnection and layered architectures are discussed using the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) as an example. The course also develops the relationships between wired and wireless network architectures.

This three-day, classroom-based, leader-led course is intended for those seeking a solid foundation in wireless network concepts. It is recommended for telecommunications professionals involved in the sale or implementation of wireless network products or services, IT staff building or managing wireless voice and/or data networks, industry consultants designing wireless networks or providing wireless network services, or managers or other professionals wanting a greater understanding of wireless networks, technologies, and applications. The program has five primary objectives.

• Explore the technical and competitive challenges faced by wireless providers given the convergence of data and wireless networks
• Describe how wireless data communications will affect the use of information technology by companies or vertical industries
• Explain the importance of layering and how the OSI Reference Model relates to the reality of TCP/IP and mobile IP
• Compare and contrast wireless circuit and packet switching technologies and their applications
• Describe the basic components of a wireless network
