Refresh the theory and practical training of the RFPS technician course.
Radio frequency propagation survey (RFPS) is the practice of measuring cellular and wifi radio transmissions and matching them against call data to help determine where a mobile phone or wifi-enabled device was located at a particular time.
This course is designed to refresh the theory and practical training of the RFPS technician course, but also to look at some aspects in more detail.
The content is similar to previous RFPS refresher courses but will include a practical exercise and both the theory and practical elements will be formally assessed.
Aim
To develop further the learner’s knowledge and experience of RFPS surveying.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course learners will be able to:
- understand and explain cellular network topology and the cell selection process
