Radio Frequency Planning and Spectrum Management Workshop
3 DAYS
INSTRUCTOR LED WORKSHOP
“OUR COURSES CAN BE SPECIALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS YOUR REQUIREMENT – TELECONTRAN”
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Being an ever increasing importance for telecom industry, regulators, vendors, oil / gas industry as well as defense forces, radio spectrum is a vital input into the delivery of many public, safety-of-life and governmental services. It enables vital wireless communications services used by the federal government, businesses and consumers.
Telecontran’s 3-day Workshop on Radio Frequency Planning and Spectrum Management is designed to cover fundamentals of wireless communications and services, explaining in detail what RF spectrum management is, why it is important, which are the authorities regulating the use of spectrum, and how is it managed and enforced at the international, regional and national levels. It also offers insights to the engineering, regulatory, economic, legal, management policy-making aspects involved as well as technological and regulatory changes that affect spectrum management.
After successful completion of this workshop participants will be able to
- Skech the impact of the latest technologies and services on spectrum management as well as how the spectrum management framework works and how to efficiently implement it
- Understand the appropriate principles and policies of an effective radio frequency spectrum management program
- Identify, evaluate, and select the appropriate management techniques to establish and operate radio frequency assignment and associated planning processes
- Review overall regulatory plans for new or expanded radio services, as well as potential improvements in existing regulatory processes
- Identify the main approaches to spectrum allocation and apply spectrum monitoring and enforcement principles
COURSE CURRICULUM
This course is specially designed for Radio Network Planners, Project Managers, RF Engineers & Technicians and frequency spectrum and policy makers from Regulators, in a word, anyone working with radio communications with a need to know about regulations for the utilization of the radio spectrum and methods for analysis, planning and coordination of radio systems in order to achieve required performance within the system without interfering with other radio systems.

OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT TELECONTRAN !!
The course was thorough and covering all aspect in the technical environment which are from engineering, IT and also the basic background of the telco industry.
This course has given me more insight on 5G network as a whole, from introduction to Smart Cities. The presentation was well outlined and learning objectives were successfully completed.
Excellent introductory course presented by an excellent instructor who was so engaging and supportive that I did not hesitate to ask questions; His answers and presentation was great and understandable.
The trainer explained LTE, LTE cell planning and 5G technologies in extremely interesting manner and I must say that the discussion during the workshop was simply excellent.
