Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) Services and Protocols Course

Course Code: TO 94
Course Abstract: Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is the world’s leading wireless communication standard.  Starting from a brief historical perspective, this course looks at the architecture, elements and interfaces used in GSM.  Next we will examine call flow scenarios and services available in GSM.  Lastly, we will also define the protocol structure and content of the messages which support the GSM mobile applications and services.  The course finishes with a brief GPRS overview.
Audience: This course will be beneficial to Cellular and PCS providers and their agents who need an understanding of GSM network signaling.
Duration: 5 days
Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
> Recognize the architecture, elements and interfaces used in GSM

Excellent training that covered current Cisco IOS and routing and switching technologies. We also covered how to subnet, supernet, and use CIDR which was invaluable to putting our design into place. The instructor did an excellent job in teaching the CCNA class. I have been struggling to understand subnetting and networking. This class brought it all together for me.
