Workshop on Fiber Optics
3 DAYS
INSTRUCTOR LED WORKSHOP
“OUR COURSES CAN BE SPECIALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS YOUR REQUIREMENT – TELECONTRAN”
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 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 3-day workshop on Fiber Optics that covers an overview of Fiber Optic Technology along with its components, Installation, maintenance, safety features, testing as well as a comprehensive business and technical foundation in optical networks, services and applications development.
After successful completion of this course 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
- Learn about Fiber cable Installation, termination and splicing
- Make informative decisions on cable design and alternative construction for various environments
- Learn about FTTx and necessary loss budgets along with the safety margins.

OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT TELECONTRAN !!
It has been delivered at the time when our company is implementing and extending Fiber network to the customer premises and the course helped to learn the guidelines for fiber installation and safety measures.
The course was packed with information on Fiber Networking and its planning, design, GPON Networking and FTTx Scenarios.
The trainer’s explanation is clear and the presentation layout specially on Fiber Network Design, Fiber installation guideline, Fiber installation and maintenance tool is outstanding.
The quality of presentation was very precise and clear and now I am confident of using OTDR.
I was able to learn and collect new ideas about structured cabling along with clearer information of capacity maintenance and safety regulations.
