4G Academy step 1 (1 day) - Information about the 4G technologies and business case
You will learn which technology is more efficient for building and operating a local network. Currently, there are a number of different standards available. In this course we will discuss the following technologies:
- Bluetooth
- W-LAN (2.4 GHz)
- 802.11a (5 GHz)
How can you penetrate through walls and connect different floors when using these technologies?
Who Should Attend
The course is valuable for everyone interested in gaining basic knowledge in the above technologies, even for those who plan in the near future to build local networks based on Bluetooth, W-LAN or HiperLAN.
Business Cases, Real Life Scenarios
On the second day we will discuss a number of business cases. How
to make profits by using 4G applications? How to market 4G
applications?
Some business cases are discussed during the this day. We will
focus on:
- Customer value
- Business model.
- How to convince customers to invest on this 4G applications.
IP Telephony using Bluetooth
How to implement IP telephony in a local network using Bluetooth
wireless technology? How much profit can a large company make by
using this networking solution? What other network applications
can be used in your enterprise?
Shopping Centres
How can 4G technology be used at shopping centres? Scenarios
(business cases) in which businesses double their turnover by
wirelessly sending propositions (offers) to customers via their
PDAs, laptops, or Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones. How can this be
technically achieved without overwhelming customers with
advertising? How can a shopping center be made more entertaining
by using 4G (e.g. offering entertainment from the local network to
visitors' PDAs).
Sports Arenas
What kind of services are visitors most interested in?
Can Bluetooth and W-LAN provide complete coverage of an entire
sports arena?
Alarm and Surveillance Applications
How to use 4G technology for alarms and surveillance. How to
effectively monitor homes for elderly and for sick people.
Industrial Applications
How to implement 4G in industrial environments.
Other Cases
Other interesting cases where 4G appears to be innovative and of
benefit for customers.
4G Academy step II- Extensive Technical Course (2days)
On these two days we study technique in depth. You will learn the following:
Design, Configuration and Implementation of LANs suited to your enterprise.
Identified problems when implementing WLAN and Bluetooth.
* Roaming between different
standards. How can you be constantly connected when moving between
different networks without interrupting the phone call?
* BT+802.11b. How to implement both techniques without
interference.
* Frequency planning. How to design a local network for a office,
shopping centre or a sports arena.
* About antennas. How to use antennas to extend the range of
access points up to 2 km. How to avoid interference when using
more then one antenna.
* Security. How to achieve the highest level of security when
designing local networks? How to build a complete infrastructure
of a security system for a local network.
This day is reserved for lab sessions. Participants are given an
opportunity to practice the knowledge acquired throughout the
course, to get familiar with the tools and the working methods.
This lab session gives participants a solid foundation in network
design suited to their enterprise. This practical experience
provides training in dealing with the following points:
* How to connect a PDA to the Internet via an Access Point?
* How to use a code mark reader in a local network?
* How is transmission rate affected when the network is
overloaded?
