Excursion to Telekom as Part of the Master's Lecture "Mobile Communication Networks"

Also this year, a visit to the Telekom branch office in Dortmund was on the agenda. Here, the approximately 20 participants had the chance to gain interesting insights into the practical implementation of current mobile communications trends, for example concerning the LTE network planning, the network operation and the continuous optimization of the mobile communications network. Finally, the participants had the opportunity to directly exchange with experts of Telekom while having a snack. The excursion was offered as part of the lecture "Mobilfunknetze" (English translation: "Mobile Communication Networks") which dealt with the fundamental system properties of cellular, satellite and local networks during the summer semester. The second part of the lecture takes place from September 25 to October 1, 2014. Above all, the guest lecturer Dr.-Ing. Lars Berlemann (Telekom Deutschland GmbH, Bonn) will cover the topic of advanced network concepts (LTE-Advanced, Mesh Networks, Femtocells, HetNets, etc.).
