ABCs of Telecommunications
Course Overview
The telecommunications landscape is in a constant flux of change. For telecommunication professionals, knowledge and competence are vital in this ever-changing industry. This is a basic telecommunications course which runs for 3 days and will provide executives with a fundamental understanding and overview of the modern telecommunications networks that are in operation today.
This course starts by defining and explaining the various components that make up a basic telecommunications system. It highlights the roles of major telecommunications standards bodies such as ITU-T, IEEE, IETF and the MEF. It explains the fundamental technologies that power the telecommunications systems of today. These include electromagnetic signals, multiplexing techniques, various types of switching used at the exchange, signaling technologies and principles, to name a few. It illustrates the 7 layers of the OSI reference model and distinguishes the various types of telecoms networks such as Fixed Network, Mobile Network, Data Network and PSTN, PLMN, Wireless, Satellite, Wireline, MAN, WAN and LAN, and also, the Internet.
It also covers important Wireline and Transmission Technologies such as microwave and fiber optics communications. Above all, it provides participants with a good grasp of Wireless Access Technologies such as WCDMA, HSPA, LTE, LTE-A and 5G. Participants will also learn the basics of Class of Service (CoS), Quality of Service (QoS), Quality of Experience (QoE) in modern LTE network.
The course provides a good exposition of the many technology jargons that are encountered frequently these days, namely, 5G IoT, SDN NFV, Carrier Ethernet and the Cloud and Cloud Services. Radio technologies such as Bluetooth, NFC and Wireless LAN will also be covered.
A flagship course of Telefocal Asia, this basic telecommunication course serves as a refresher course on all things related to telecommunications. Participants will gain critical foundation knowledge before branching out to pursuing other more advanced topics offered by Telefocal Asia.
