Optical Networking Training for Managers:
Optical Networking Training for Managers Course with Hands-On Exercises (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live)
This Optical Networking Training for Managers course covers optical networking from soup to nuts for non-engineers. It is designed to introduce optical networking to persons who wish to learn about the subject for management, planning, marketing/sales, or procurement purposes but who do not have an advanced technical or mathematical background.
It includes the basic material of fiber optic components, systems, and networks. It provides an introduction to the operating principles of optoelectronic devices used in various current and future information processing and transmission systems, and to the principles of optical fiber operation. It also discusses the operation of optical networks and optical network technology such as SONET, and how to buy optical networking services.
This Optical Networking Training for Managers course deals with all of the key issues of understanding, designing, and implementing optical networks. We will begin with a quick review of basic physics relevant to optical networks and devices. We will then study the construction of optical fiber, the light sources used (lasers and LEDs), detectors, and other optical networking devices.
We next cover testing and deployment of fiber and then move on to wave division multiplexing (WDM) and optoelectronic networks such as SONET. We discuss the design of optical networks, the economic and business aspects of optical networks, and how to buy optical networking services. Examples are shown throughout, and short exercises are provided.
