Price 4,228 ILS

DURATION 2 Days

Course Overview

LTE is already recognized as the future de-facto standard for public safety and mission critical mobile broadband communication.
The course is focused on the latest LTE standard enhancements to support specific Public Safety application requirements covering the architecture, functionalities and Radio aspects.
We will review the Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) feature that enables thousands of devices to be connected at once to transfer video, images and voice simultaneously using the eMBMS ((evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service), VoLTE/VoWifi and groups management technologies as well as QoS mechanisms.
Special attention is given to the Proximity Services (ProSe) new feature enabling Device-To-Device discovery and communication based on the Sidelink protocol. The course ends with a review of the evolvement towards the 5G.

Who should attend?

The seminar is built for Technical, Marketing and Business Development people of the Telecom Service Providers as well as Manufacturers of LTE-Advanced equipment.

Prerequisite:

Basic knowledge of telecommunications is expected from the participants, as well as familiarity with LTE.
