Course Description
This course is designed for Proffesionals in non-technical
or semi-technical job titles, who require a well-rounded
tutorial on WiMAX applications, services, operations, architecture,
and technology. It is an ideal foundation course for those
who will be planning, financing, managing, marketing, selling,
or supporting a WiMAX product or service.
WiMAX Fundamentals gives a two-day briefing
on the key characteristics of the variety of networks which
feature WiMAX standard equipment. Whether you are planning
fixed
or mobile services, or backhaul or access services, or
Line of Sight or non-Line of- Sight services, this course
can give you an appreciation of the opportunities, issues
and obstacles to each application.
Duration: 2 days
