Advances in telecommunications in the last two or three decades have changed the way we play and work and, arguably, of all the telecoms services, mobile communications has had the biggest influence on people’s lives around the world. From farmers in remote areas of Africa checking commodity prices to company executives reading their emails while out of the office, we all increasingly depend on wireless access to telecom services.

The implementation of Third Generation (3G) mobile services has addressed in part the demand for more mobile bandwidth. However, standards development has not stopped there. 4G systems promise the same multimedia experience while on the move as is available from a fixed broadband connection. In fact, 4G is seen by many as the way of eliminating the digital divide in areas with poor access to the Internet.

The first implementations of 4G based on the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards have already been announced in Scandinavia with others expected imminently in other parts of the world.

As part of PTT’s commitment to provide up-to-date training, PTT has recently released its latest e‑learning course “4G and LTE mobile systems” which provides an in-depth treatment of technical and service aspects of 4G and LTE.
