COURSE OVERVIEW

This TETRA Training Overview course will equip you with the understanding of TETRA principles, functionality, and procedures that you need to be able to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot your TETRA network. Unlike courses that are presented in the “death by PowerPoint” format, we will employ lectures interspersed with interactive diagrams, discussion of participant questions related to their implementation, example calls made with the client’s handsets on your network, and discussion of your TETRA configuration and settings.

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