WiMAX Forums WiMAX Overview for Technicians E-Learning Course

Carriers, ISPs, enterprises and municipalities worldwide are deploying WiMAX networks for access, backhaul and mobile services. The technical strengths of the IEEE 802.16 technology, coupled with the compliance testing of the WiMAX Forum, have provided the market with scalable, high-capacity, interoperable, cost-effective, standard radio equipment.

Engineers and technicians need a technical introduction to WiMAX before attending product-specific training. An understanding of the WiMAX options for fixed and mobile networks helps technical personnel to interpret and internalize the product-specific training, quickly and efficiently. WiMAX equipment comes in a variety of configurations, applications, profiles, channel sizes, and frequency bands, so a comprehensive overview helps the technician to keep perspective on the job-relevant specifics.

This e-learning course is designed to prepare technical personnel for in-depth, product-specific training on a WiMAX system. Students who complete this course will understand WiMAX applications, and be able to apply that understanding for a quick up-take on technical, job-relevant training.
