OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT TELECONTRAN !!
The workshop was extensively interesting specially in learning different types of cable, its connector and how to install them by using hands on method.
The course was packed with information on Fiber Networking and its planning, design, GPON Networking and FTTx Scenarios.
This workshop enhanced my knowledge in optical Fiber, multiple test equipment used in Cabling, light movement inside the core.
Very valuable explanation, well demonstration and clear strategies with lab sessions that the trainer is using in explaining wireline technologies.
The quality of presentation was very precise and clear and now I am confident of using OTDR.
