Understanding GSM
The Understanding GSM course provides students with the knowledge to
explore GSM's network characteristics, Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, and
system capacity. This course explains how GSM fits into the global wireless
picture and provides the information students need to make informed,
knowledgeable decisions about how to use GSM's capabilities and features in
today's wireless marketplace. It demonstrates how GSM networks plan to provide
high-speed data transmission for packet-switched service, wireless Internet
access, and other high-speed data service, and how GSM will evolve into a Third
Generation (3G) cellular network. If you're ready for an in-depth examination
of the role GSM promises to play in tomorrow's wireless landscape, Understanding GSM is the answer.
