Introduction:

This course provides a technical overview of optical networking. It gives students a solid understanding of optical networking field principles and practice. Underlying principles are reviewed along with common optical solutions and practices. Our newly upgraded Optical Networking Series includes Examples, Implementation and Trade-offs. It explains and provides practical tips on how to design and implement Networks for Optimum Performance. Hours of Real-life case studies are used to demonstrate key concepts. The optical networking seminar provide the Rock-Solid foundation of optical systems. We present and explain SONET/SDH and DWDM implementation.

Audience:

This course is designed to provide a general overview for strategic or technical managers, consultants, communications professionals, software engineers, system engineers, network professionals, marketing and sales professional, IT professionals, and others who plan on using, evaluating or working with optical networks, applications and services. It is also applicable to Engineers and technicians responsible for maintaining, monitoring, and optimizing optical systems.

Prerequisites:

This is an introductory course. Students are expected to be familiar with basic principles of transmission systems.

Customize it:

This 2-3-day Optical Networking course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Enowireless will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of wireless training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization’s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Enowireless, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren’t too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our “standard”, one size fits all, class.

Objectives:

This course provides you with a comprehensive business and technical foundation in optical networking and its services and applications development.

Course Outline

Overview What is the different type of fiber optics? What are the differences between SONET/SDH and WDM/DWDM? What is a all-optical network? Will optical networks mean the end of the existing telecom structure? What is next? What does the future hold for photonic switching? Will we ever have the photonic equivalent of the Pentium chip?
