Course Overview
One course that takes you from no telecom background to job-ready. It starts with how the industry itself works — the lifecycle of a network from idea to optimisation — then walks the generations in order: 2G GSM in depth, then 3G UMTS, then 4G LTE.
Four sections, 20 lessons, eight hours of video. Each generation is taught against the one before it, so nothing is memorised in isolation: once you understand why GSM divides time into slots, WCDMA power control and the LTE air interface stop being separate subjects and start being the same problem solved with better tools.
Nothing here assumes an engineering degree or prior telecom experience. If you can follow secondary-school maths and you work through the material in order, you will finish able to follow a real planning or optimization discussion.
What You'll Learn?
- Explain how a telecom network is planned, built, operated and optimised
- Trace the evolution from 1G to 5G and understand why each generation exists
- Describe the full GSM architecture: MS, BTS, BSC, MSC, HLR and VLR
- Read the GSM air interface — ARFCN, TDMA frames, timeslots and burst structure
- Distinguish the GSM channel families and walk through a complete call flow
- Explain UMTS architecture, the WCDMA air interface, channels and power control
- Describe 4G LTE fundamentals, the SAE core network and the LTE air interface
- Hold your own in a planning or optimization conversation, and in an interview
