Training Course Outline

Wireline Telecom Courses Transmission Training Courses

Introduction to SONET & SDH

Course Duration: 2 Days

Course Code: PWL082

Course Description:

This course is designed to introduce you to the SONET/SDH standard and the basic concepts of optical networking so you can understand - and effectively communicate with colleagues and customers about - these dynamic broadband topics. A network using SONET/SDH and dense wavelength division multiplexing provides powerful networking capabilities, rapid reconfiguration around network failures, the ability for responsive network expansion, efficient network management, and multiprotocol support.

Prerequisites:

Delegates should have a good understanding of basic communications principles. The course is designed for anyone who needs an introduction to these technologies should take this course, including network and equipment designers, network planners, members of internal systems organisations, and sales and administrative sales support personnel.

Prerequisite courses:

Telecoms Fundamentals For Professionals
