Description

This course is your gate to IBS network design, testing and commissioning. A practical step-by-step guide on how to plan, design and optimize in-building networks. A complete series of videos explaining how to master DAS design and its testing methodologies that are required as mandatory for all telecom RF engineers, planning/optimization engineers and drive testers on site.  Increase your market insights, learn how to plan, design, test, and commission the DAS networks (passive, active, hybrid structures) and get to know tips and tricks about network troubleshooting & performance monitoring solutions. We will address all DAS network deployment project phases from project management perspective to deep technical details and with a practical manner. A full course in your hand, 6yrs of experience in a large variety of DAS projects with different telecom players (MNOs, NEMs, contractor, Towercos,..etc) around the world, in USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, and across the Middle East and Africa. By the end of the course, you will be ready to start working on real DAS projects using any radio planning tools available in the market today. Our mission is to deliver the technical basics with the field-oriented deployment process and touch base the business part and how you as an engineer to open new and better career opportunities, not only in your home country or region but globally.
