Practical Fundamentals of Telecommunications and Wireless Communications Course
Introduction:
The make-up and structure of telecommunications networks have changed dramatically in the past few years. These changes impact on the equipment you purchase, the services you use, the providers you can choose, and the means of transporting the data. This workshop will be of particular benefit to those who want to apply the latest and most effective telecommunications technology immediately.
The workshop commences with a review of Telecommunications basics and typical transmission media ranging from copper to fiber optics. This brings everyone up to speed with the fundamentals of telecommunications. Public Telephone network services are then examined with a review of the typical infrastructure (including ISDN and DDN).
Course Objectives:
- The fundamentals of telecommunications
- The “jargon” used in telecommunications
- The “nuts and bolts” about selecting and installing telecommunications systems
- How to increase the bandwidth by exploiting your existing copper wire more effectively
- How to make “best practice” decisions on the best and most cost effective access options for your company
- How to apply the latest technologies such as wireless communications
- To understand and apply high speed access systems such as ADSL and beyond
