TELECOMMUNICATIONS ESSENTIALS®
FOR NON-TECHNICAL
PROFESSIONALS
Telecommunications, a US$2.5 Trillion dollar industry globally, is
the critical infrastructure in the networked economy of the new millennium.
Innovation, demand, finance, and regulation have come together to completely
change the economics and applications of telecommunications, and with it, the
landscape of the IT&T industry. Understanding telecommunications
technologies and trends is more important than ever.
If you are new to
the communications and information industry or simply desire an understandable,
yet comprehensive overview of telecommunications, then this seminar is for you.
This three-day program is designed to provide you with a thorough foundation
for understanding telecommunications principles and technologies. As
importantly, the course will teach you how to continue learning - by teaching
you what resources to use on the web in order to access information online,
when you need it.
LIDO Telecommunications Essentials ® will allow
you to master the basic building blocks of key technologies, from the
principles of telecommunications transmission and networking, to the current
and evolving nature of the Internet, addressing both wired and wireless
alternatives. You will receive a concentrated, high-level overview of all of
the language and issues that comprise telecommunications - including the public
switched telephone network (PSTN), the Internet, Cable TV, and wireless
infrastructures.
Day One provides a foundation for understanding the
arts and sciences of telecommunications - the technology fundamentals - the
terminology and principles of transmission and networking. Day Two introduces
data communications and internetworking basics, a review of today's WAN (wide
area networking) alternatives, and an overview of the Internet infrastructure
as well as the evolving role of IP services and applications. Day 3 explores
the realm of broadband infrastructures, next generation networks, optical
networking, broadband access alternatives, broadband wireless, and broadband
home area networking. By attending all three days, you will receive a complete
high-level overview of the full spectrum of telecommunications, examining
voice, data, video and multimedia, and their application over the public
switched telephone network, the Internet, Cable TV, and wireless
infrastructures.
Because knowledge work today involves constant
learning, LIDO provides learning resources that will be enable you to access
the appropriate information at the moment you need it, long after you attend
