Introduction to Global Communications

( Duration: 5 Days )

In Introduction to Global Communications training course, you will focus on topics that define worldwide communications standards and the networks that provide the services. You will begin with the basics of switching and routing and then learn the complex network topologies of today’s service providers. You will then examine the fiber-optic links that provide the fabric for today’s communications backbone. Also learn the mobile wireless standards as you transition through the various generations, review satellite networks, and cover the evolution of communications technology.

By attending Introduction to Global Communications workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Transport services and infrastructure of service providers
  • Switching and routing fundamentals
