Hi, Are you a network planner or a university student. Someone working in Telecom Domain or someone trying to switch to Telecom Domain?

I hope you will be eager to learn something good today.

Want to learn everything related to Path Loss?

How to do initial configurations?

What type of Equipment files are supported?

How to Plan your first link and then how to go ahead with the full network?

Bonus videos on advance topics like PTMP, Passive Repeaters, Adaptive Modulation and SD Link planning.

Additionally you will learn some Planning and Propagation background as well.

Then why are you waiting further. Also do share it with your friends. So that they can also get the benefits of it.

In this course the students will learn the below:

Section - 1: Introduction
Section - 2: Basic Network Planning
Section - 3: Microwave Propagation
Section - 4: Configuration of Path Loss
Section - 5: How to plan your first link
Section - 6: How to move forward now

Access to the Planning Tool

Description

You want to learn about network planning, especially the Access Network which is most fragile and ever changing part of the fixed and wireless network.

I have been working in the transmission field since last twenty years and I found that there is no basic training of the most commonly used access planning software and the new comers in Transmission planning learn this tool through hit and trial. That is why they are never able to fully utilize their potential.

Keeping this in view I have designed this course in order for you to learn the complete tool. Additionally I feel that you need to learn some basic ideas about Network Planning and Microwave Propagation as well. Even though I assume that most of you should have enough background knowledge still I have added some basic information so that no one is left behind.

The course is distributed in the below sections:

Introduction
Basic Network Planning
Microwave Propagation
Configuration of Path Loss
Planning your first link
Where to move forward now
Bonus Section
Tool Quiz

Who this course is for:

Telecom Engineers
Network Planners
RF Planners
University Students
