OSP Eng. Live Virtual Design, Engineering and Planning (Copper/Fiber)
 
Course Description
This extensive Virtual "Live" Instructor-Led course was designed for those new to local loop design, planning and engineering - whether in telecommunications, CATV engineers designing fiber or copper, traffic engineering, municipal engineering, public utilities or any other roles that require familiarity with standards and common practices in outside plant design for fiber and copper.

This course begins with the basic concepts such as basic electricity, basic telephony, outside plant components and loop transmission. It steadily builds to more advanced concepts and skills, including feeder and distribution designs, digital loop carrier systems and fiber optics. Local loop facilities sometime referred to as "the last mile are a critical and capital-intensive network component in delivering reliable and adequate telecommunications services to a local carrier's customers. The third day and the final day consist of copper and fiber design exercises that put to work the theories and practical parts of the course. Students will receive 4 fiber design cost models that they can use to examine fiber design alternatives. They will also have a chance to show the area they want to design in class so a design can be started for it.

In today's competitive markets, local loop facilities that are cost-effective, reliable and capable of accommodating changing customer needs are key to your organization's success.
Students Will Learn
Target Audience
This course is designed for telephony engineersplanners, CATV engineers designing fiber, traffic engineers, municipal planning engineers, utility engineers, technicians and technical managers with little or no previous experience in planning or engineering telecommunications local loop facilities containing copper and fiber. It is ideal for those new to the telecommunications industry. While fundamentals will be addressed, some previous familiarity with general telecommunications terms and concepts, although not necessary to benefit, will be an advantage that will maximize your learning experience. This course is technical in nature, but it offers detailed material and practical concepts without complex mathematics.
Prerequisites
None.
