Networking is taking an evolutionary path that will allow voice and video - real time services - to successfully exist with data on the same network. This will allow new ways for organizations to effectively communicate with increased productivity, flexibility, and lower cost. It will also give networking product developers, telecom product developers, and service providers new opportunities to expand their offerings for greater revenue.
This Hands-On 2 day course will allow participants to work with an in-class intranet infrastructure constructed with Ethernet switches and routers. Upon successfully constructing and testing the in-class Intranet, participants will observe the installation of voice and video hardware and software on PCs. Participants will test for voicevideo quality over the LAN and WAN.
Telecom Network professionals, IT managers, technical salesmarketing personnel, consultants, network designers, network engineers, product design engineers, telecom technicians and managers, systems administrators and anyone who will manage support new services and products for the datatele convergence markets networks. This course is also geared for Data and Networking professionals that want to reduce network costs by converging voice, video, and data over their internetintranet.
An Awareness of Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs) with an understanding of TCPIP or have the equivalent knowledge. This information can be obtained in our courses
