Wireline Telecom Courses   Next Generation Network Training Courses

H.248 Megaco for Developers and Implementers

View course dates

Course Duration: 2 days

Course Code: PWL027

Course Description:

The next generation of telecommunications networks will deliver broadband data and multimedia services to users. Circuit switched networks will replaced with IP packet switched infrastructures with multi-service switching implemented using software control. Streams of real time media will be switched between gateways under the control of call servers and media gateway controllers.  The key to this new soft-switch technology will be the protocols that run between the Media Gateway Controllers; this will be H.248 Megaco.

This course will provide developers an introduction to this new technology, how it has evolved and how it can be used.  It will give and understanding of the commands and parameters used as well as providing examples of exchanges needed to set-up typical calls.

When you have completed this course you will be able to:-

Describe the structure of Multi-service networks
Select the appropriate options for Media control switching applications
Implement the commands needed to setup calls using H.248 Megaco
Build configurations to describe media streams using Session Description Protocol
Select the appropriate encoding and transport for services
Use Megaco API commands to set up calls

Prerequisites:

Delegates should have attended Multiservice Access and H.248, or have similar knowledge and experience. Delegates should also have a very solid understanding of IP, VoIP and WAN technologies.

Prerequisite courses:

Understanding MultiService Access and H.248

Follow on courses:
