Course Date & Venue
21 February - 25 February 2010 (Sun - Thu) 5-day Instructor-led training, 0900 - 1700 Dubai, UAE
Course Objectives
The main objectives for GPON / FTTx Technical Workshop are as follows, To provide the participants a good knowledge and understanding of the GPON Principles and Technologies. To provide proper knowledge on different parts of PON and GPON To provide description on ORL, ONT, OMCI, OLT, GEM etc. To Describe and compare the structures and benefits of various configurations of a PON including fibre to the home (FTTH), fibre to the node (FTTN) and fibre to the cabinet (FTTC).
Course Overview
GPON Technical course is designed to provide students with hands-on knowledge and lab experiences as well as an overview of PON fundamentals. PON standards are emphasized including Optical Line Termination (OLT), Optical Network Termination (ONT), Optical Distribution Networks (ODN). FTTx deployments discussed include Overlay, Greenfield, Brownfield and Hybrid.
Key Benefits
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to; Understand the safety requirements when working with Passive Optical Networks (PON) Know the basics of Fiber Optic Theory Identify and name the principle parts of a a fiber optic link Describe the light guiding principles of fiber optic transmission Detail the operating wavelengths used in PON applications Discuss the cable types used in PON applications Discuss the history of PON Build single-mode (SM) subscriber connectors (SC) for PON Understand the use of broadband Understand how voice signals are carried with PON Define bandwidth and understand speeds per application Discuss Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) Compare PON to SONET Describe the different Optical-Electrical-Optical OEO implementations Describe Optical-Optical-Optical OOO implementations Understand the principle of Dense Wave Multiplexing (DWM) Understand the standard bodies ITU, IEEE, FSAN Describe BPON, APON, EPON, GPON, TPON technologies Perform fusion splicing and mechanical splicing Test and troubleshoot a PON system Use a Fiber Visual Fault Finder Use a Light Source and Power Meter to measure link loss Use an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Use an Optical Return Loss (ORL) Meter
