Understanding LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network. This course in-depth analyzes network architecture, equipment and their features. Furthermore, some case studies and their call flows are highlighted. Finally, this training covers features and protocols that allow the interworking with other LTE access networks and with non 3GPP wireless networks.
