Exercises are provided throughout the course, re-enforcing a practical understanding of the material. 

 

Telecom Training Associates will provide each student with a high-quality workbook and all of the necessary supplies.

 

What You Will Learn: You will learn the concepts of how voice, along with data and video can be transported using a common protocol – Internet Protocol (IP).  Emphasis is placed on architectures and protocols needed in a VoIP network.  We will also see how interconnection between today’s signaling protocols and the protocols used in VoIP is accomplished.

 

Who Will Benefit From This Course: As networks migrate toward VoIP, this course will be valuable for those individuals responsible for planning, designing, marketing, managing or supporting almost any area of telecommunications.

 

Course Prerequisites: A basic knowledge of telephony, IP and signaling would be helpful, but not essential.

Instructors: All of our instructors have years of experience developing and teaching technical courses at Telcordia Technologies (Bellcore) Learning Services in Lisle, IL.  They are all CompTIA CTT+ Certified Professionals and SS7 certified.
