Course Objectives

Master the Backbone of Wireless Connectivity

Get hands-on with real microwave radio equipment currently deployed to connect cellular sites

This intensive training takes you beyond the basics showing you how microwave links power mobile networks through point-to-point transmission

You will not only learn how to install and configure microwave radios, but also understand how they fit into the bigger picture of cellular backhaul, traffic flow, redundancy, and network topologies

Real tools. Real networks. Real skills. This is more than equipment training—it’s your step into full network understanding

Course Highlights

Understanding Cellular Network Architecture

Build foundational knowledge of how mobile networks operate from the mobile device to the core network.

Understand the foundation

Learn what microwave radio is, its core principles, traffic handling capacities, and commonly used frequencies (6GHz–80GHz).

Understand protection schemes
