Combining the theory, practice and the math behind the SOLiD DAS, the course will demystify key concepts when talking about RF Amplification and DAS (e.g. uplink noise, PIM, LTE, etc.). The class is a 3-day interactive and fun-filled session where you will learn a lot and also have the opportunity to meet like-minded peers from the industry.
Candidates attending the class are asked to have a basic understanding of Radio Frequency (RF) and eager to learn.
