WiMAX Fundamentals Course Highlights |
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.

Instructor: Avi
Freedman, PhD.
Dr. Avi Freedman is a senior
lecturer at LOGTEL for WiMax. Along with
lecturing at Logtel, Dr. Freedman is a
CTO of a vendor independent engineering
firm that specializes in development and
marketing of software tools addressing
various aspects of wireless systems: radio
propagation, coverage optimization, network
planning, deployment and operation. The
products support a variety of radio technologies
and applications.
|
These products are deployed
in more than 15 countries and adopted by
a
number of wireless equipment vendors.In his past, Dr. Freedman
was with
InnoWave-ECI Ltd. (today a part of Alvarion), as a senior member
of the
business research group, and actively contributed to the design
of the FWA
systems. Prior to that Dr. Freedman managed R&D projects at
Elta Electronics
Industry (a subsidiary of the Israel Aircraft Industries).
Dr. Freedman is a senior member of the IEEE and is also active
in ETSI and other standardization bodies. He is a member of
IEEE 802.16a, IEEE802.16 2004 and IEEE16e-2005 standards, which
are the basis for WiMax systems. Dr. Freedman received his
B.Sc., M.Sc. and PhD from Tel-Aviv University in 1974, 1985
and 1993
respectively, all in Electrical Engineering.
Between 1993 and 1996 he was a research fellow at the School of
Electrical Engineering of the University of Pennsylvania, PA.
Dr Freedman authored over
40 papers in journals.
Today,
Dr. Freedman is lecturing at the Department
of Electrical Engineering
Systems of the Faculty of Engineering in Tel-Aviv University.
