COURSE OVERVIEW

Intended as a follow-on to our TETRA Overview course (“TETRA 1”), this TETRA Performance and Optimization Training course should be scheduled after some time has elapsed since TETRA 1. Building on the knowledge and skills acquired in TETRA 1, this course will help you identify the performance issues with your network and how changes to the TETRA network will impact its performance.

Unlike courses that are presented in the “death by PowerPoint” format, we will employ lecture interspersed with a discussion of your questions related to your implementation, a discussion of your TETRA configuration and settings, hands-on exercises, and example troubleshooting scenarios and solutions.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
  • 3 days of TETRA Performance and Optimization Training with an expert instructor
  • TETRA Performance and Optimization Electronic Course Guide
  • Certificate of Completion
  • 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
