COURSE OVERVIEW
UMTS Core Network Training course covers the details of various functions of the Core Network including Mobility Management, authentication, security, roaming, call and session setup, and the evolution of the UMTS network towards an all-IP-based network. It gives an overview of the evolved core networks in different releases of UMTS from Release 4 to Release 8.
The Core Network hardware configuration is also vendor specific. Network vendors have very extensive documentation on how to design all aspects of the core network starting from the room environmental requirements up to the post-integration system quality audit. The UMTS Core Network Training course covers the details of various functions of the Core Network including Mobility Management, authentication, security, roaming, call and session setup, and the evolution of the UMTS network towards an all-IP-based network.

- Understand in-depth ATM ( Asynchronous Transfer Mode), AAL structures, and VoIP. and their role within UMTS
- Learn the new 3G signaling protocols, transport, control, and user planes, etc.
- Understand how Call transactions are constructed and executed
- Understand the enabling technologies such as SIP, MEGACO, and IPv6 and the use of these technologies within All-IP Multimedia architecture
- Become familiar with the network evolution toward 4G
- Understand how the network can support the implementation of new services, and the impact that these services will have on the network including the security, charging, and quality of service considerations.
CUSTOMIZE IT
- We can adapt this UMTS Core Network course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
- If you are familiar with some aspects of this UMTS Core Network course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
- We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the UMTS Core Network course around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
- If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the UMTS Core Network Training course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
