Training Course Outline
Course Duration:
2 days
Training Course Description:
This 2-day course has been designed to give engineers a good basic
understanding of the technologies and functions associated with the
802.16 WiMAX wireless networks and the possible environments that a
WiMAX may be deployed.
Prerequisites:
Delegates should have a good understanding of data networking
principles. Delegates without these skills can gain them by attending
one of the prerequisite courses below. Additionally an understanding
of radio principles is desirable but not essential.
