The WiMAX Forum today introduced its new certified training course, the WiMAX Forum Core Network Engineer Certification Boot Camp™, the first of which will be held during the WiMAX Forum Global Congress in Amsterdam from June 16-19, 2008. The training session will provide hands-on experience with WiMAX™ core-network equipment while providing the WiMAX ecosystem with verifiably trained and qualified staff from the only training course series endorsed by the WiMAX Forum.

The network engineer-focused training session was designed to make it easy for operators to equip themselves with the skills they need for successful WiMAX core network implementation while reducing their risk with quality training that has been created by industry experts. The environment in which these courses are taught also reinforces the standardization of WiMAX technology and promotes knowledge sharing among participants and operators, which helps fuel the WiMAX market momentum and benefits the entire industry.

Technical personnel who engage in the WiMAX Forum Certified Training programs will gain skills that are applicable to a variety of vendor's equipment and prepare them for building a network that meets these global ecosystem interoperability standards.
