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.
