What you will learn
When I set out to create this course, my goal was to construct a comprehensive yet accessible learning path for anyone starting out in the field of mobile communications. Knowing how daunting the subject matter can seem at first—with all those acronyms and complex technologies—I meticulously curated each module to build on the previous one, promoting a clear understanding of how mobile networks have evolved and how they function today. What's really exciting is that the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive; students love how each lesson logically segues into the next, ensuring a smooth learning journey. The careful organization means you won't find yourself lost in jargon or confused by the intricacies of signaling protocols. Instead, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to engage with present and future mobile technologies, setting a robust foundation for your journey into this dynamic industry.
Curriculum
Your instructor
With a deep-rooted passion for telecommunications that spans over four decades, I've dedicated my career to not only staying at the forefront of mobile technology advancements but also to empowering others through education. My journey began at Ameritech in technical support, eventually leading to a role at Bell Communications Research (Bellcore), a crucible of telecom innovation where I was first immersed in the intricacies of SS7 signaling. This experience solidified my keen interest in the signaling protocols that are the backbone of mobile communication.
Now, as the Head of Training & Development at Cellusys, I meld my technical expertise with a fervent educational drive. Teaching has been an avenue where I can share the insights gained from my time at Bellcore, which transitioned into Telcordia Technologies, and beyond. Crafting and delivering courses in SS7 and Intelligent Networking while managing training programs, I continue to guide professionals and students alike through the complex but thrilling world of mobile generations and signaling. My goal is to ignite a similar enthusiasm for telecommunications in my students, equipping them with the knowledge to excel in a dynamic and constantly evolving industry.
