Delegates on this course will equip themselves with a good overall knowledge of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and the Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) technology. The course establishes the need for a packet-based system before explaining the main purpose and features of GPRS and EDGE. The GPRS network architecture and supporting interfaces are explained in enough detail to make sense of the procedures and traffic cases.

Issues such as billing, mobility and interworking with other networks are also covered in detail. Finally, the use of GPRS within 3G networks (and the evolution towards this) is examined, focusing on capabilities, implementation and the role of GPRS in future mobile communications

Why should you attend this course?

Delegates who attend this 2-day technical programme will be able to:

• Relate the functions of GPRS to the evolving need of mobile service provision
• Create a diagrammatic representation of GPRS System Architecture and list the protocols used, describing the role each plays
• Describe the structure and main features of the GPRS radio interface and understand basic GPRS procedures
• Explain the issues regarding interworking with external networks
• Gain a thorough understanding of potential GPRS services including devices, QoS, network rollout, billing and service concepts
• Understand how EDGE can be used to improve data rates
• Discuss the upgrade requirements for an operator to evolve from GSM to EDGE
  

Course Summary:

• GSM Introduction and Network Architecture
