Understanding Wireless Internet Access
The Understanding Wireless Internet Access course provides students with a
comprehensive understanding of how today's wireless networks are being extended
to support Mobile IP/Wireless IP and GPRS. Scenarios are presented from IS-835
(TIA's wireless IP standard) and ETSI's General Packet Radio Service (GPRS),
which explain the fundamentals of mobile Internet access. With this as the
foundation, the emphasis of the course shifts to show how each of the major 2G
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA), and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Digital Cellular / PCS
technologies is evolving to 3G capabilities for providing higher bit rate
services and new multimedia capabilities.
