Excursion to Vodafone as Part of the Lecture "Mobilfunknetze" and "Betriebswirtschaftliche Grundlagen der IKT"

Also this year, an interesting excursion could be offered to students of the lectures of the summer semester - this time to the "Vodafone Innovation Park" in Dusseldorf. Here, the approximately 20 participants had the opportunity to gain insights into the practical implementation of current trends of mobile communications. Finally, the participants had the chance to exchange face to face with experts of Vodafone while having lunch together. The excursion was especially offered for 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 24 to 30, 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.). Furthermore, students of the lecture "Betriebswirtschaftliche Grundlagen der IKT" (English translation: "Economic Basics of ICT" ) were also invited to attend the excursion.
