TELECOMMUNICATIONS ESSENTIALS®
DAY ONE
COMMUNICATIONS FUNDAMENTALS
One of the biggest
challenges facing professionals in the information technologies and
telecommunications (IT&T) sector is conquering the dense, seemingly
endless, yet absolutely essential language of telecommunications. During Day
One, telecommunications fundamentals are presented in layman's terms, laying
the foundation for understanding the basic principles of telecommunications
transmission and networking. The focus is on developing an understanding of the
forces driving the revolutionary change in infrastructures worldwide, on
providing clear explanations of communications fundamentals, the differences
between circuit and packet switching, the nature of transmission media, and the
architecture of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) infrastructure.
Day One will result in an appreciation and understanding of the fundamental
principles of telecommunications and the supporting infrastructures.
