Mobile broadband is taking off and moving forward to LTE era and Cloud Solutions. It is very important to understand the Fair Usage Policy Control, QoS, Access Policy Control and VoLTE traffic cases. You may need to operate and configure the main equipment in order to manage all these new characteristics using a Classical SAPC or a virtual SAPC.
The SAPC 1 Operation and Configuration course is recommended for those who are working with operation and configuration tasks related to solutions requiring policy management. It defines how SAPC provides centralized policy management for access control and QoS control per subscriber, service and bearer basis according to the 3GPP Policy Charging and Control (PCC) architecture. This course includes the main operation, maintenance and configuration activities using both Physical Node Function (PNF) and/or VNF (Virtual Node Function).
