Introduction to
Telecommunications
and Data Networking
has been designed
to provide an
introductory-level
exposure to core
computer connectivity
technology. The
course will appeal
to:
• people
who have been
recently assigned
to a role that
requires a working
knowledge of data
communications
concepts.
• people
who wish to develop
a solid, working
knowledge of current
networking technology,
but lack the background
for our intermediate
level Network
Solutions; LANs
and LAN Connectivity
program.
• people
who have a work-environment
need to be literate
with the terminology
and concepts that
apply to telecommunications
technology.
• people
responsible for
managing and/or
administering
LAN/WAN data networks
• people
newly appointed
to responsibilities
in this area,
having no previous
background in
the subject
• executives
who find that
this technology
has passed them
by, and who need
a concise exposure
to the elements
of this increasingly
challenging field.
Students who attend
our seminars consistently
observe that they
appreciate the
systematic exposure
to the many dimensions
of the technology,
and the emphasis
on terminology
that goes with
it. Many people
have had exposure
to one or more
portions of the
subject, but the
unifying consistency
of an organized
presentation on
the subject is
clearly valued.
The specific
terminology of
this field is
challenging to
beginners. A key
objective of this
seminar program
is a demystification
of terminology.
No brief seminar
on any large topic
can make experts
of the participants.
Realistically,
in this short
exposure, students
will acquire:
• a current
working perspective,
and introduction
to telecommunications
and data communications
• a practical
sense of the relationship
between the various
dimensions of
the subject
• a chance
to rationalize
their own work
situation with
the procedures
and methods used
in industry
• an appreciation
of significant
trends in the
industry, and
a vision of what
aspects of these
technologies are
in process of
significant, positive
change
Introduction to
Telecommunications
and Data Networking
was designed as
a two-day course
-- comprising
approximately
12 hours of instruction.
A permanent,
comprehensive
workbook is included
for each attendee
-- which provides
a work-along class
reference manual
with a cross-referenced,
comprehensive
subject index,
encyclopedic glossary
and recommended
reading catalog.
There are no
technical prerequisites
for this program.
Introduction to
Telecommunications
and Data Networking
has been designed
to start as an
entry-level treatment
of the subject.
This seminar is
designed to provide
the necessary
background for,
and lead directly
into our intermediate-level
Network Solutions;
LANs and LAN Connectivity.
