How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Radio Mobile, ATDI ICS Telecom, MATLAB, Wireshark, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for radio coverage studies, network interoperability tests and emergency coordination exercises. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Identify the technical and organisational problems of radio interoperability.
Interpret the standards for radiocommunication equipment and systems.
Design coordination frameworks between emergency services.
Plan interoperability verification tests.
Analyse the coverage and capacity of a radio network.
Where this takes you
