Wireless technologies have been evolving at a very fast pace and
it becomes difficult for professionals to keep
up-to-date with all the changes. At the same time, market
newcomers do not have access to past technologies
which are often essential in understanding for building a solid
base for learning new ones.
These professionals require different depths of training, but
all of them need to have a thorough understandin
of the technologies they are working on. Acknowledging this
fact, CelPlanhas developed a modular program
that allows professionals to have a sequential and complete
training at different depths by rearranging th
modules as needed.
Besides offering classes on the CelPlanner Suiteof tools,
CelPlan, as a leader in wireless services an
technologies, also offers a comprehensive array of training
courses that follow market trends and focus on th
newest technologies.Our seasoned core of highly capable
professionals with in-depth experience in international markets
develop
and teaches training courses covering major issues and
technologies in the telecommunications arena. CelPla
courses reflect the most recent developments and standards in
wireless telecommunications. Very complete an
illustrated training material is provided for all technology
training classes.
The Wireless Communications Overview module covers the common
aspects of Cellular Wireless Network
and how they evolved over time from the original wired networks.
Basic concepts applicable to all wireles
technologies are explained.
The Wireless Communications Fundamental Principles module also
covers basic principles applicable to al
wireless systems but focuses more on the understanding of signal
processing, RF propagation, and Radio
Performance.
The Technology modules describe the different technologies, and
the two previous modules, or equivalen
knowledge, are pre-requisites.
The Fifty Steps of a Wireless Design module describes the steps
that should be done to complete a prope
wireless design, from GIS database, through market modeling and
up to network performance. This module i
illustrated using CelPlanner Sui tetools along the design
process. A CelPlannertrial license is provided as par
of the class.
The CelPlanner Sui te modules cover the usage of this advanced
planning and design software. It is sub
divided in 6 sub-modules: CelPlanner, CelTools, CelEnhancer,
CelLocate, CelOptima, CelLink, an
CelEnterprise.Upon request, CelPlancan also develop new training
modules to meet specific customer needs.
Besides an attendance certificate, CelPlanalso offers a
certification program for some of the Technolog
classes. In this process, students are evaluated based on a
homework assignment that covers the different topic
explained during training. The WiMAX class is also certified by
the WiMAX Forum (see more details in the
description of the course).
Because of all the research we do in-house to prepare the
training classes and to write specifications for ou
CelPlannerSuite of tools, it was only natural forCelPlanto move
towards publishing some of that research. I

Goals
WiMAX was the first outdoor broadband technology to be specified
and has been deployed successfully ove
the world. It is a mature technology that addresses data
transmission issues. This technology is data-centric and
requires many new concepts to support it. Traditional concepts
were replaced or extended to cope with issue
such as SLA (Service Level Agreement), data rate, tonnage, QoS,
latency and many others. Network design imuch more complex as a
result of multiple service classes, adaptive modulation and coding
(AMC), MIMO
antenna techniques and OFDM-based carriers. This class covers
the fundamentals of this technology.

Goals
LTE is based in advanced technological break-throughs not
present in traditional technologies. Even the basi
telecommunication theory had to be revised, as a much more
in-depth understanding of the concepts involved i
required. Many new concepts, such as OFDMA, MIMO and SON were
developed as part of the technologica
evolution. LTE is a data-centric technology which requires many
new parameters for defining the market, usetraffic and demand. This
class aims to introduce these new concepts and provide students
with a thoroug
understanding of the technology.
