Radio Network Planning & Design (GSM)
This 2-day course has been designed to provide a
comprehensive overview of Global System for Mobile
Communications (GSM) cell capacity and cell planning
from first principles.
Including an in-depth study of GSM network design,
this theoretical based course includes an extensive
design project, allowing delegates to put their knowledge
into practice. Some prior experience is required to
attend as it provides those already working with in
the industry, the opportunity to upgrade or convert
their existing experience and knowledge to include
cell planning.
