TECHNOLOGY FOCUS
Telecommunication networks have emerged as strategic components of the worldwide infrastructure needed to support economic development, scientific discovery, educational opportunities, and social advancement. Starting from a voice-oriented embedded base, and driven
by the proliferation of high speed networking, telecommunication networks are rapidly evolving toward support of integrated multimedia services that involve voice, data, image and full motion video over fiber optics-based wired and cellular-based wireless facilities.
The impact of the Internet has been nothing short of revolutionary, and as we look toward the future, one can confidently predict a rapid evolution toward increasingly higher speed, sophistication and capability.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course will enable participants to
-
Understand basic principles, underlying technologies, architectural alternatives, current practices, industry standards, and network evolution
-
Develop familiarity with local data networks, wide-area multimedia networks, traffic management, ATM, IP, the Internet, and personal communication networks
-
Understand performance management issues and strategies
-
Comprehend and follow the technical and trade literature in this rapidly advancing field
-
Interact with vendors and customers of telecommunication services and products
-
Assess the opportunities for new multimedia applications and service offerings.
COURSE CONTENT
This course is intended to provide a comprehensive technical overview of modern telecommunications. Some topics are treated superficially, some in greater detail, but the overall intent is to provide a solid introduction to the field. Covered are the
"Intelligent Network," Voice Networks, Local, and Wide Area Networks, the Internet and IP, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Broadband ISDN, Broadband Local Access, Satellite Systems, Cellular Radio, Personal Communication Systems, Wireless Local Loop, All-Optical Multi-wavelength Networks, and Multimedia Services.
There are no telecommunications-related prerequisites for this course, and all concepts are developed from first principles on an intuitive basis with further insight provided through examples of real-world networks and end-user services and applications.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is intended for market planners, account executives, salesmen/women, systems engineers, R&D managers, and telecommunication and data communication managers seeking a technical overview of
telecommunications, its current status, and its future directions. It is also appropriate for engineers whose backgrounds are in fields other than telecommunications but who might anticipate some future involvement. Engineers with a background in telecommunications may find it too elementary.
