Description
About This Course


Learn the fundamental concepts that every cellular network operator needs to know about cell phone architecture and functionality.   This course is tailored to students with little to no background in RF Engineering who want to learn the practical functions of how a cell phone network operates.

Description. 

 This course covers fundamental principles used in wireless telecommunication including discussions about the history of cellular communications, radio frequency engineering, cell site planning, equipment components, and call processes.  By taking this course students will quickly grasp the same complicated subjects that are taught to military intelligence and law enforcement officers who work with cellular telecommunications in their respective duties.

This course is designed to be a beginner level class for students that are studying cellular protocol theory.  This class does not cover a specific cell phone protocol, rather it provides an overview of fundamental principles used in every type of cellular network architecture.  The topics discussed in this class are universal to all cell phone protocols and thus are necessary for those studying advanced protocol theory. 

This course is ideal for students who are either interested in RF engineering as a career or academic field, employees of wireless service providers, members of law enforcement or military, or professionals with a need to understand the basic workings of cellular technology.  The lessons taught in this course are extremely valuable to anyone who is going to study specific cellular protocols.  I recommend this course first to anyone interested in taking my more advanced courses in GSM, CDMA, or UMTS.

The course uses a teaching method and approach that was developed for teaching military and law enforcement officers.  It takes into account that most students do not have an engineering background.  No complex math or abstract principles are presented, and every concept is illustrated with in depth talking points.  

Course Instructor.

This course is presented by retired Army sergeant Josh Russell.  Josh is a SIGNAL Intelligence and military intelligence expert with a background in special operations (SOF).  

Who this course is for:
Beginning level engineer students, military service members, law enforcement officers, business professionals, amateur radio enthusiasts
