Adoption of LTE technology and AT&T FirstNet by public safety and governments brings many terms, technology, acronyms, and wireless design & engineering methodologies that LMR professionals will need to understand.
This presentation gives a broad technical overview of the key elements of the 3GPP standard that applies to LTE wireless technology, with a focus on the similarities and important differences between Land Mobile Radio (LMR) – specifically digital trunked LMR, and the typical broadband cellular LTE user device and Radio Access Network(RAN). The presentation will (a) assist radio technologist to understand key concepts of cellular LTE from a mobile radio background and perspective. and (b) overview how LTE technology will change the way wireless communications will change with the use of LTE FirstNet LTE devices.
