With the current increase in machine to machine communications or IoT, the 3GPP technologies have been enhanced to support this new type of data transfer. This course focuses on the 4G or LTE network and the various modifications which have been introduced in Release 12, 13 and 14. These include new network infrastructure, modified air interfaces (NB-IoT / LTE-M) not to mention support for NIDD or Non IP Data Delivery. Various network optimizations will also be addressed along with new procedures dealing with network monitoring. Finally, mobility will be reviewed before culminating with a brief look at how Cellular IoT interworks with legacy 2G and 3G networks.

Cellular IoT System Engineering Training Course in Nigeria

Nigeria is located on the western coast of Africa. As the most populous country in Africa, Nigeria is a multinational union with more than 250 ethic groups. Even though the official language is English, there are over 520 native languages spoken in Nigeria. Their huge reserve of petroleum plays a crucial role in the Nigerian economy. While Abuja is the capital of Nigeria, its largest city is Lagos.

Nigeria is a member of the African Union and the British Commonwealth. Nigeria is named after the great Niger River and its national animal is an eagle. Nationals Parks are quite common in Nigeria and all of them are vast and breathtaking. Gashaka Gumti, Kainji Lake, Yankari and Okomu are the most popular national parks.
