Telecoms Fundamentals for Technical Professionals |
Training Course Outline
Course Duration:
4 Days
Training Course Description:
Whether your background is in traditional mini/mainframe data
processing, distributed applications development or managing the LAN,
the chances are you are having to embrace some aspects of
telecommunications within the scope of your responsibilities. This
course will provide you with all the information you need to work
effectively in this new and challenging environment. This course is
the perfect primer for all technical staff new to the world of
telecoms in addition to those with a datacoms or software background
who need to get up to speed quickly with this rapidly evolving
environment.
Upon completion of this course delegates will have a clear
understanding of:
- Basic Telephony
- Transmission
- Switching
- Signalling
- Key Concepts in Planning for the
Future
- The value of digitalising the
network
- Importance and influence of ISDN
- The role of telecommunications as
a tool for improved corporate productivity, e.g. Computer - PABX
Applications Interfaces
- The information planning process
needed for a successful telecommunications strategy
Prerequisites:
None, however the course assumes delegates come from a
technical background.
