Course Overview
The Nokia Mobility Manager course is designed to introduce the Mobility Management Entity (MME) component of the Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The course examines the interfaces, functionality, EPS mobility management (EMM), EPS session management (ESM), and mobility management (MM) procedures used in the EPC, with emphasis on the MME. Comprehensive hands-on lab exercises and case studies are included to reinforce the course learning objectives. Upon course completion, participants will have a solid working knowledge of MME and be able to deploy and support the functionality on a Nokia Cloud Mobility Manager (CMM).
