Onsite Workshops on 3G (cdma2000 & W-CDMA) & 2G CDMA Available Upon Request Workshop Leader: Ed Lu Ed Lu is a leading expert and a consultant on wireless communications systems. He has been involved in wireless communications business development, CDMA subscriber unit testing, cellular and PCS system design, wireless data technology, microcell technology, optical fiber communications, and electromagnetic wave propagation for more than sixteen years. He was a member of CTIA CDMA System Operational and Performance Test Group. He developed AirTouch Communications CDMA Test Bed program, supporting AirTouch's CDMA Digital cellular transition. He was the Director of Network Planning & Engineering for McCaw International and Chief Engineer of Shanghai McCaw Telecommunications, in charge of building one of the most dense Digital Cellular Systems in the world. He was also the Technical Director of Mobile System International. Ed Lu brings his solid R&D background, CDMA field operation experience, practical system design and engineering experience to this workshop. A well-respected wireless communication strategist, Ed Lu will also share his views on smart antennas, superconducting filter, CDMA optimization, CDMA system development directions, PCS system deployment strategies, microcells, wireless data & internet and IMT-2000 3G systems.
Who should Attend This Workshop This CDMA workshop is designed for chip designers, network engineers, RF planners, engineering managers and others who want to learn how CDMA works and how best to implement the technology. By attending this workshop, you can better optimize your CDMA systems and make them 3G ready. This is the place to get all of your questions answered on the latest advancements in CDMA so you can shorten your learning curve and build a better system. With 560 pages of handout note, this is one of the most extensive Advanced
CDMA & 3G Workshops. Workshop Schedule and Topics (Subject to change) Workshop begins each day on 8:30 AM. Ends at 5PM. It may end earlier on 3rd day afternoon.
