Introduction
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) refer to a group of fiber-optic transmission rates that can transport digital signals with different capacities.
This course discusses synchronous transmission standards in world public telecommunications networks. It will cover their origins, features, applications, and advantages, as well as their impact on network design and synchronous signal structure. This course provides detailed knowledge on the SONET/SDH and DWDM networking elements, and their technologies, required to build evolving transport networks. It provides you with a comprehensive business and technical foundation in optical networks, services, and application development. Further, this course provides advanced SONET/SDH and DWDM topics.
The course participants shall be comfortable with the basic concepts of a public telecommunications network, with its separate functions of transmission and switching, and shall be aware of the context for the growth of broadband traffic. No specific prior knowledge is assumed about hardware or software technologies.
Objectives
- Apply an up-to-date knowledge and skills of the latest technology in synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) & dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)
- Implement fiber optics technologies and explore SONET/SDH architectures & services
- Identify SDH frame format structure, payload, synchronization & timing and analyze SONET/SDH network element, architecture, topologies, and configurations
- Practice span engineering and manage SONET/SDH networks & services and IP, ATM, WDM, and DWDM integration
- List DWDM components and architecture and practice digital voice and plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH)
- Apply SONET/SDH protocols & concepts, path overhead and payload mappings
- Analyze SONET/SDH network elements & application, synchronization, and multiplexing
Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
Who Should Attend?
Technology and IT personnel.
