Teracom DVD Video V2 Fundamentals of Telecom 2 - preview

Preview of Fundamentals of Telecom 2
COMPANY: Teracom Training Institute http://www.teracomtraining.com
DATE: May 15 2007
TYPE: Tutorial, DVD
URL: http://www.teracomtraining.com/teracom-overview-v2.htm
RELEASE INFO:

In this video course, we drill into the technology a bit,
to understand the concepts, standards and technologies for
actually transmitting voice calls from one place to another.

We’ll give you a real understanding of what “digital” actually
means, and how it is implemented. We’ll explain what a “DS0″ is,
and take a practical tour of digital circuits, including T1,
T3, SONET and ISDN. At a high level, we’ll see how voice, data
and video can be integrated.

Then, we’ll take a closer look at how this is all actually done,
with Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and digital carrier systems
that are the technologies at the heart of telecom networks.
Without getting bogged down on technical details, we’ll provide
you with a basic understanding of how transmission systems work,
including T1 over copper wires and SONET over fiber.

Most of the transmission systems we have in place were designed
for digital voice communications using these techniques…
but they are also used for data and networking.

This video course provides you with the concrete knowledge
of the telecommunication circuits necessary to a full
understanding of data circuits and network services.

TERACOM VIDEOTUTORIAL V6: Cellular Radio

Part of V6 Understanding Wireless 1
from Teracom Training Institute http://www.teracomtraining.com Best of breed: telecommunications training - since 1992
May 15 2007
TYPE: Tutorial, DVD
URL: http://www.teracomtraining.com/teracom-overview-v6.htm

Understanding Wireless 1 begins with basic radio concepts,
understanding “analog radio” and “digital radio”, then covers
fundamentals of mobile communication networks: base stations,
cells, handoffs and mobility.

With this in place, we go through the first and second
generation technologies: AMPS, TDMA, GSM and CDMA, and
understand how each works, their strengths and weaknesses
and how they relate to each other.

In Part 3, we concentrate on data over cellular and 3G,
and cover the differences between GPRS, Wideband CDMA or
UMTS, cdma2000, 1X, 3X and 1XEV-DO. We review expected throughput
in bits/second and which carriers are supporting which technologies.
We conclude with applications such as i-mode, SMS, wireless email,
web surfing, WAP and XML.

This video provides you with a real understanding of how a
cellular network operates, the main technologies, the opposing
camps championing different systems, and wireless applications.
