This intensive four day skills based course for network planners is part of the WiMAX Forum Certified Training Series and covers all the necessary topics to prepare a technical student to take the WiMAX Forum RF Network Engineer ™ certification exam.
The boot camp is structured as 50% tutorial content and 50% hands-on exercises illustrated with case studies. At the end of the course you will have experience of designing the RF network for a sample WiMAX-served community.
At the end of the course, the successful student should have the skills to choose among design tradeoffs for a secure, efficient, high-performance core network.
Why should you attend this course?
Complete this highly practical WiMAX Forum Certified engineering course and you will be able to:
Understand WiMAX network design options and applications and the fundamentals of RF along with the RF design considerations of WiMAX
Describe three antenna diversity techniques and describe the operations of two types of MIMO systems and two advanced antenna systems
Confidently perform a WiMAX link budget
Understand WiMAX path loss modelling
Design a frequency reuse plan for a WiMAX network and discuss several reuse proposals for mobile WiMAX networks
Competently assess WiMAX performance and coverage considerations
Employ a modelling tool to prepare an RF plan for your network and illustrate the effect of power, terrain, clutter and CPE location on coverage
Mathematically relate oversubscription and subscriber quality of service and validate vendor design rules for capacity planning
Take the certification test at the end of the course.
WiMAX Forum Professional Certification proves that you have the skills to design, install or operate WiMAX networks.
