4G/5G Microwave Transmission Planning and Optimization
3 DAYS
INSTRUCTOR LED WORKSHOP
“OUR COURSES CAN BE SPECIALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS YOUR REQUIREMENT – TELECONTRAN”
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Telecommunication Network is rapidly migrating from GSM towards 4G and now 5G. Drivers for such migration is the rising needs of data and cost-effective planning and expansions of backhaul links.
With the emerging carrier Ethernet standards and the migration of mobile telephony technologies towards IP technologies, the microwave radio systems have an increased focus on the effective transport of packet-based traffic and major radio vendors have introduced a new type of radio, commonly referred to as IP radio supporting high speed packet transport over microwave links.
This 3-day workshop would make the participants understand the needs of new traffic categories as well as wisely adjust transmission network evolution to handle both existing and new traffic categories.
After successful completion of this 3-day workshop participants will be able to
- Understand the essentials required and involved in planning of microwave-based access network for GSM towards 4G and 5G.
- Develop understanding of migration of transmission network towards all-IP environment
- Learn the essence of microwave path planning along with proper link budget calculation
- Explain Microwave performance and Optimization considerations as well as analyze system degradation due to Microwave components.
- Learn the new developments in Digital Microwave Radio and new technologies implemented in microwave point-to-point radios (Ethernet) as well as Adaptive Modulation.
