Having completed this course the participant will be able to understand how security is implemented, deployed and managed in UMTS network, understand security concepts, understand the benefits of new security techniques applied and how they are implemented.
The goal of this course is to give the participant a strong and intuitive understanding of what security in the wireless systems is and how the security functions are implemented in UMTS radio and core network. The course focuses both on the air interface and the core network.

 Excellent course and instructor. I found our instructor to be highly educated in his field. He was able to expand every answer with information that helped the class as a whole learn the subjects. We were all extremely happy by the end of the course, and will have Tonex back again!
We didn't have any issues arise during our course. Everything went smoothly and everyone was happy. S. Bodmer,Northrop Grumman TASC
