| CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO Network Planning
|
Length:
16 hours (2 days)
|
Prerequisites:
A technical background in wireless communications is required for this course. Additionally completion of the following courses (or equivalent working knowledge) is preferred:
- CDMA Engineering Basics and CDMA2000
- 1xEV-DO Release 0 Overview
|
Audience:
This course is intended for engineers involved in the network deployment process who need to learn about network planning principles for CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO.
|
Course Description:
The CDMA2000 family of technologies provides wireless solutions exhibiting increased voice capacity and fast, low latency packet data. With both CDMA2000 1x and 1xEV-DO, CDMA2000 builds on the inherent advantages of CDMA enabling increased data throughput rates and quality of service, while significantly improving network capacity and reducing delivery cost. This course provides a detailed view of how to plan a network for both CDMA2000 1X and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO. All aspects of network planning are covered including all the required processes and major activities. These are dealt with from a practical standpoint with an emphasis on addressing the challenges that an operator will meet during deployment.
