This classroom course is designed to provide a general overview for Information Technology professionals, and others who plan on using, evaluating or working with optical networks.
Knowledge of the basic principles of transmission systems is reccommended before taking this course.
As the name suggests, optical networks form a class of networks where optical, rather than electronic, components are the building blocks of the network. Compared to metallic cable, fiber optic systems offer greater bandwidths, lower attenuation, and no crosstalk or electrical interference. Those advantages have led to the dramatic growth of fiber optic systems worldwide. Today, nearly all long-haul telecommunications depend on the use of optical networks for their large capacity and robust performance.
This course provides fundamental concepts of optical networking and provides an understanding of optical networking principles and practice.
