nokia airscale training

Last updated on 

Nokia AirScale is a portfolio of radio access network (RAN) products offered by Nokia for mobile network operators. These products are designed to enable the deployment of 5G networks and support the evolution of existing 4G LTE networks. Training for Nokia AirScale typically involves various technical aspects related to the installation, configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of these RAN products.

Here's an overview of the technical aspects covered in Nokia AirScale training:

  1. Product Familiarization: Training typically starts with an overview of the Nokia AirScale product portfolio. This includes understanding the various hardware components, such as base stations, antennas, remote radio heads (RRHs), and associated software components.
  2. Radio Access Network Basics: Trainees learn about fundamental concepts of radio access networks, including radio frequency (RF) principles, modulation techniques, multiple access schemes (like OFDMA for 5G), beamforming, and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology.
  3. Installation and Commissioning: This part of the training involves hands-on exercises and simulations on how to physically install the AirScale equipment, connect various components, and ensure proper cabling and grounding. Trainees learn how to configure the equipment, perform initial testing, and ensure it meets the specified standards.
  4. Configuration and Optimization: Understanding the software interfaces and tools provided by Nokia for configuring different parameters in the RAN. This includes setting up different network profiles, adjusting power levels, optimizing coverage areas, managing interference, and ensuring efficient spectrum utilization.
  5. Network Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Trainees learn how to monitor the network, identify potential issues, and perform troubleshooting tasks. This involves using various diagnostic tools and software interfaces to identify and rectify faults or performance degradation within the network.
  6. Upgrades and Expansion: As technology evolves, the network may require upgrades or expansions. Training covers the procedures for software updates, hardware expansions, and integrating new functionalities within the existing network infrastructure.
  7. Security: Understanding security protocols and best practices to ensure the network's integrity, including authentication mechanisms, encryption techniques, and protection against cyber threats.
  8. Operational Support Systems (OSS) Integration: Nokia AirScale products interface with larger network management systems. Training may include information on integrating AirScale within these OSS platforms and understanding the overall network management.

Nokia provides this training through various channels, including instructor-led courses, online modules, documentation, and hands-on labs. The depth and technicality of the training depend on the specific modules or courses chosen by the trainee, considering their roles in network deployment, operation, or maintenance.
