This is a new course being tested before incorporation in a Certification Package. Feel free to take this course at the "testing" price, and please let us know of any typos or glitches you might find at customerservice@teracomtraining.com
In this course, you’ll build a solid base of knowledge in fundamental telecommunication concepts, beginning with a model for understanding circuits and information communication, client-server and peer-to-peer communication, analog vs. digital and how bits are represented by pulses, what modems do, and multiplexing: different methods of sharing circuits, and finishing with an analogy illustrating the idea behind transmitting large files in small packets.
Course Lessons
1. Communication Circuit Model
2. Terminals, Clients, Servers and Peers
3. Analog and Digital
4. Bits in Frequency Channels: Modems and Modulation
5. Frequency-Division Multiplexing
6. Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM)
7. Statistical Time Division Multiplexing
8. Packet Network: The Postal Service
Based on Teracom’s famous Course 101, tuned and refined over the course of 20 years of instructor-led training, we’ll cut through the jargon to demystify telecom fundamentals, explaining the jargon and buzzwords, the underlying ideas, and how it all works together… in plain English.
A course completion certificate is awarded upon passing the course exam.
Course Outline
1. Communication Circuit Model
DTE-DCE circuit model: coding then representing information on circuits
2. Terminals, Clients, Servers and Peers
Communication between different types of terminal equipment
3. Analog and Digital
The problem with analog transmission; representing 1s and 0s with pulses
4. Bits in Frequency Channels: Modems and Modulation
How modems represent 1s and 0s using ASK, FSK, PSK, QPSK and QAM
5. Frequency-Division Multiplexing
Sharing a circuit by implementing many small frequency channels
6. Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM)
Sharing a circuit by taking turns in time in a strict order
7. Statistical Time Division Multiplexing
Sharing a circuit on demand with packets
8. Packet Network: The Postal Service
The very fundamental idea of how large files are tranferred in small packets using an analogy of the Postal Service
