                                     DESCRIPTION


A 5-day Training Program to provide participants with an understanding of Third
Generation (3G) and Fourth Generation (4G) mobile network technologies and services.
The program will explore the network evolution from earlier mobile networks to 3G and
on to 4G as well as the associated technologies and services. The program will also look
at the current marketplace situation, its main players, such as manufacturers, vendors,
operators and standards bodies, and the expectations and trends leading to 4G mobile
networks.




                                       OBJECTIVES


    Provide an overview of previous mobile networks
    Present the evolution to 4G mobile network technologies
    Equip participants with the appropriate knowledge of 3G and 4G mobile network
    technologies
    Present the challenges and strategies associated with the migration of networks to
    4G technologies




                                                                                           1
