Technologies for Convergence and Multi-Service Networks

  • Course Name: Technologies for Convergence and Multi-Service Networks
  • Duration: 3 Days
  • Technical Level: 3

Overview

This 3-day training course provides an understanding of the technologies, services and the market relating to next generation telecommunications and the convergence of telecoms, Internet and broadcasting architectures.

The course introduces the concepts of convergence and explores the architectures and technologies that are being deployed in next generation networks. Detailed analysis of access and core network technologies, along with service delivery and management, will provide delegates with a comprehensive insight into how multi-service networks are being designed and operated.

Course Objectives

  • Define convergence and suggest examples of convergence within the market
  • Identify industry trends relevant to convergence and list the main drivers
  • Identify the main technologies that will be deployed in next generation networks
  • Describe the functions and features of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
  • State the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for converged services and identify how QoS may be provided
  • Contrast wireless and wireline access technologies
  • Identify the major functions provided by the core network and list the main technologies deployed in these networks
  • Describe the role of IP and IP-related protocols within modern core network architectures
  • Identify how services will be delivered and controlled within IP-based networks
  • List the main technologies which are being used to deliver digital television and contrast the features of these systems
  • Identify the architecture required to deliver IPTV and describe example IPTV services
  • Describe the requirements for billing, OSS and BSS platforms in converged networks
  • List the security threats related to IP networks and describe the techniques that may be used to mitigate these

Course Requirements

A basic understanding of telecommunications would be an advantage, but is not essential.
