Voice over LTE

Description

This course provides a basic understanding of the 3G
LTE Air Interface, SAE, as well as Voice over LTE
options and LTE Advanced features. Investigating the
standards for the EPS , formulated by the 3GPP
standards body, the course will set out to examine and
explain the 4G environment from user equipment to
border gateway and beyond. This course will ensure
the delegate has a grasp of all aspects of the current
global deployments, the next steps in upgrades and the
promise of things to come.

What will you learn

Voice over LTE training course details

Any engineers who are assisting in the deployment of
voice services within their LTE networks.
