Course Objectives
The major driving force behind the widespread use of fiber optics communication is the high
and rapidly increasing consumer and commercial demand for more telecommunication capacity
and internet services. Advances in technology have enabled more data to be conveyed through
a single optical fiber over long distances.
With the advancement of the Telecom network towards 4G, 4.5G and now the upcoming 5G,
High Speed data transmission is mandatory which can be provided by Optical Transmission. The
day is not far when Fiber optic will be the only backbone for all transmission system.
Telecontran offers this 5-day workshop on Optical Communication and System that covers an
overview of the SDH and DWDM networking elements and their technologies along with a
comprehensive business and technical foundation in optical networks, services and applications
development as well as different Optical Transmission Network systems such as OTN, GPON,
FTTx, Metro Ethernet etc.
After successful completion of this workshop, participants will be able to
- Understand the market trends and development for fiber optics which is now encroaching into many aspects of our day to day uses.
- Gain a comprehensive technical foundation in optical networking and its services and applications development
- Explore SDH and DWDM Architectures & Services
- Make informative decisions on cable design and alternative construction for various environments
- Understand OTN and how it impacts on modern telecommunications
- Learn about FTTx and necessary loss budgets along with the safety margins.
