Customized
Expert Training
On top of the standard training, customized expert training is offered in
the domain of optimization. This training is customized according to
customer needs and is under the responsibility of expert radio network
engineers.
Audience This customized expert training addresses experienced personnel in
the domain of optimization.
Training
Contents
The detailed contents and duration is agreed with the expert engineer
who delivers the service.
Note: it is recommended that the customer designate a representative
to define the exact needs and content with the Alcatel expert in charge
of the training.
For example, you can organize expert training on the following
subjects :
BSS GSM parameters and algorithms (Handover, Power
Control, multi-layer algorithms, traffic management features)
Voice quality analysis (voice quality measurements, voice
quality in the field, voice quality improvements areas, B8 voice
improvement.)
ndoor Radio Solutions (indoor network design methods and
constraints, indoor parameters settings, different indoor
solutions.)
Training
DeIivery
Customized expert training requires around two months between the
request and the delivery.
