With so much interest in the Internet of Things, it is not surprising that both equipment vendors and mobile service providers are turning towards 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G cellular technologies to provide a means of connecting the billions of devices we are anticipating will come to market in the next few years. This course therefore introduces this growing opportunity and in so doing, explains how the existing 3GPP technologies have been enhanced to support IoT operation. This includes discussion on EC-GSM-IoT, LTE-M and NB-IoT not to mention the support for Non IP Data Delivery.

Introduction to Cellular IoT Training Course in South Africa

Formerly known as Union of South Africa, now officially known as Republic of South Africa is the Southernmost country in Africa. South Africa's population is over 60 million people, which makes the country the world's 23rd-most populous nation. South Africa has three capital cities: executive Pretoria, judicial Bloemfontein and legislative Cape Town, while the largest city is Johannesburg. The official languages of South Africa are Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Pedi, Sotho, Swati, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa and Zulu.

South Africa can be rainy from November to February, so the best time to visit South Africa is from May to September. Despite the rainy season South Africa is a year-round destination, with varying regional climates. Blyde River Canyon, Durban, Drakensberg, Kruger National Park and of course, Cape Town are the tourist attractions of the country.
