📘 Course Title

GSM, GPRS & EDGE – From A to Z

📝 Course Description

This course provides a complete and structured introduction to 2G mobile communication systems, starting from fundamental telecom concepts and moving step-by-step into GSM architecture, air interface, radio principles, and signaling, then extending to packet-switched technologies GPRS and EDGE.

The course is designed to build a solid technical foundation for anyone aiming to start or strengthen their career in mobile networks. It explains concepts in a clear and practical way, linking theory with real network behavior and call scenarios.

By the end of the course, learners will fully understand how GSM networks operate, how data services were introduced through GPRS and enhanced with EDGE, and how all network elements interact together.

Language: Arabic with English subtitles
