Cellular IoT Air Interface Training Course in the United States

The United States of America (USA) is a country in North America and a federal republic of 50 states. At almost 9.8 million square kilometers, the United States is one of the world’s biggest and most populous countries. While America’s capital city is Washington, D.C., some of its well known cities are New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Orlando, Las Vegas, Dallas, San Francisco and Kansas City.

The most iconic symbol of the country is probably the Statue of Liberty in New York and it was gifted by France. Despite the fact that English is the most widely used language in the United States, there is no official language. Independent since July 4, 1776, USA’s motto is “In God We Trust” and their current president is Joe Biden. Some of the best places to visit in the United States are Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Maui, New Orleans, Honolulu, Zion National Park, Kauai, Lake Tahoe, Aspen, Big Sur and Santa Fe.
