4-day instructor-led training, 0900-1700

To be able to discover how interesting ADSL is to all telephone companies. The course will help them format an offer to customers to use high speed data services even before switching to fiber-optics.

This four-day course will discuss a new transmission technology facilitating simultaneous use of telephone services, data transmission and basic-rate access. The first two days of the course will focus on ADSL; from basic terminologies to implementation and techniques required for higher levels in the telecoms industry. Day 3 concentrates on MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), its history, basic components and up to traffic engineering and its integration to VPN. Generalized MPLS is also included which targets features, components and deployment. The last part of the course is designed to talk about the future technologies in broadband such as xDSL, BPL, fiber, and their applications.

Technical officers, support staff, and assistant support engineers.
