LTE promises much faster data speeds and access to services that were not practical in 3G. As enterprise customers explore the capabilities and implications of this technology, those involved with enterprise sales need to be prepared to confidently and accurately answer their questions. This session provides the background necessary to answer more involved questions about the LTE technology and how it applies to enterprise customers, including questions about devices and SIM cards, LTE sessions, connecting to enterprise networks, Quality of Service, Voice over IP, and interoperability with other technologies, including EV-DO and UMTS.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Explain the concept of a PDN in LTE and how it relates to enterprise data access • Describe Quality of Service (QoS) in general, and how it is supported in IMS and LTE • Sketch a high-level view of a packet data session in LTE • Explain the difference between Idle and Connected states, and the impact to applications • Describe the options for connecting to the enterprise • Explain the value provided by IMS • Explain at a high level the process of transitioning between LTE and EV-DO or GPRS/UMTS • Describe how voice services can be provided over LTE and IMS through VoLTE as well as traditional circuit-switched voice • List the benefits of providing VoIP services through IMS vs. Over-The-Top
Intended Audience
This course is intended for those in sales-related roles with a need to dialog with customers about LTE.
