Bannister has over 20 years experience in the design and
implementation of telecommunications systems and services. As the director of
Bcomms Ltd, she has developed and delivered in-depth training courses on GSM,
GPRS and UMTS. She also
played a leading role in the feasibility study and protocol design of a
packet-mode air interface for wireless communications.
In this capacity, she actively participated to ETSI meetings on
GSM-GPRS and UMTS to guarantee system compatibility and provide expert input
to their design phase. She also
developed and delivered advanced courses on SS7, TCP/ IP and CDMA. Her clients
include Aircom, Agilent, Alcatel, BT, Cisco, Ericsson,
Lucent, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Nortel Networks, Orange, One2One, Siemens,
Vodafone. Francoise Bannister holds an Electronics Engineer degree from
ENSERG (Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Electronique et de Radioelectricite de
Grenoble- France), with a special option in Communications and Information
theory and a Master of Science degree in signal processing and Information
Technology. Location:

These GSM/GPRS and 3G CDMA workshops are
designed for chip designers, network engineers, RF planners, engineering
managers and others who want to learn how GSM/GPRS and 3G (cdma2000 &
WCDMA) System works and how to implement the technologies. This is the place
to get all of your questions answered on the latest advancements in GSM/GPRS,
WCDMA. And cdma2000. We will cover GSM/GPRS, cdma2000 & W-CDMA
in a step-by-step fashion. The emphasis will be on principles, system
engineering, migration, optimization and system implementation. We will also
discuss the relationships among GSM/GPRS, IS-95 2G cdmaOne, cdma2000 & W-CDMA
systems. We feature some of the most engineering and
technical intensive GSM/GPRS and 3G Workshops. Onsite
workshop is also possible if your company has many engineers interested.
Please email us: witmail@bigfoot.com Workshop
Schedule and Topics (subject to modifications) Workshop begins each day on 8:30AM and ends around 5PM. At the last day of each workshop, we may end earlier.
