Course description
Mobile operators worldwide migrate from ATM/SDH transport to IP/Ethernet based transport. Signalling and user traffic use a common transport technology based on the Internet Protocol standards. The main driver for this migration is the promised low cost, at least in urban areas. However, low cost should not impact service quality, which puts a number of QoS related requirements on the new transport infrastructure. Applicable transport network architectures, together with correct mapping of existing traffic and signalling priorities into IP and Ethernet handled service classes are crucial, in order to meet those requirements.
Target audience
Target audience is radio engineers and project managers as well as network architects.
