Two recent reports have identified the dynamism of the mobile communications sector.
A report by BuddeComm has highlighted the growth of mobile communications around the world. According to this report, average mobile penetration across Europe has reached about 125% with annual subscriber growth of about 8%. Worldwide growth of 13% is forecast for 2009 fuelled by expansion in Russia, India and China.

A report by Analysys Mason focuses on the benefits and challenges of the newest generation of mobile communications systems. These LTE systems promise cost savings for operators while meeting the requirements of new data services such as gaming, TV and video.

PTT offers a range of e-learning courses covering technical aspects of mobile communications. These are regularly updated and expanded to ensure the latest technological advances are explained in a clear, concise way.

We have just released two new courses which cover the fundamentals of mobile communications. These courses, Introduction to mobile systems and The air interface, are ideal for technical personnel who are new to the industry or who wish to update their knowledge of the underlying techniques that drive the various types of mobile system.

A new PTT e-learning course covering LTE mobile systems is in its final stages of development and will be released soon. If you would like information about this and other PTT mobile courses, please contact us.

PTT has this week released its new course covering Next Generation Networks.

The course is aimed at technical personnel involved in the planning, implementation and maintenance of NGNs. Also, Sales and Marketing staff requiring an appreciation of the services and facilities offered by NGNs will benefit from studying at least the first two modules of this course.

The NGN e-learning course begins by explaining the concept, architecture and advantages of NGNs. The course then provides an overview of the role and facilities of the underlying technologies and techniques used in NGNs while considering the implications of migrating from a conventional system to an NGN.

PTT – Providers of Telecommunications Training – the UK’s leading provider of e-learning for the telecoms industry, is excited to announce the launch of the most innovative, authoritative and comprehensive training covering Next Generation Networks (NGNs).

The NGN training programme balances the need for businesses to cut the high costs associated with time in the classroom with the need for high-quality, in-depth, personalised training.

The programme consists of a blended learning approach: 2 pre-workshop e-learning courses covering IP networks and Advanced IP networks which the trainees complete at their own pace before attending the classroom session; a one day classroom workshop delivered by an NGN expert and PTT’s brand new NGN e-learning course for post-workshop knowledge and revision.

Each trainee will have 12 months access to all e-learning courses, as well as 3 months online Tutor Support from the NGN instructor, a recognised NGN expert.

The entire training programme is available for only £799+VAT.

Bob Nott, Managing Director of PTT said, “At a time of economic downturn, telecoms organisations need to find new ways of training their people when budgets are being tightened. PTT’s new NGN blended learning programme ensures that trainees are given quality in-depth training while also saving time and money.”

Four dates are available so far for the workshop – in London (2), Bristol and Birmingham – with more to come in 2009. The training can also be run in-house at any location.
