The two-day TETRAcomplete course has been designed to provide a more in-depth knowledge of the TETRA air interfaces (protocol stack architecture and radio aspects) and their operations, as well as issues relevant to TETRA network planning and capacity dimensioning. The topics covered include
- TETRA radio interface
- TETRA physical layer
- Radio propagation at TETRA frequencies
- Tele-traffic modelling
- TETRA network planning
- TETRA Direct Mode operation
