It deals with designing optical networks which use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/faqs\/what-is-a-coherent-detection-system\/\">coherent transmission<\/a> &amp; digital signal processing, &amp; tackles the requirements for designing high performance networks to meet key challenges such as increasing capacity, extending reach, increasing flexibility, controlling latency, providing quality of service and going open and interoperable, whilst also keeping costs under control and reducing electrical power consumption.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-377 size-full alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/cone-optical-network-challenges-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1134\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/cone-optical-network-challenges-min.png 1134w, https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/cone-optical-network-challenges-min-300x70.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/cone-optical-network-challenges-min-1024x238.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/cone-optical-network-challenges-min-150x35.png 150w, https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/cone-optical-network-challenges-min-768x179.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1134px) 100vw, 1134px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll learn how the powerful combination of coherent transmission &amp; digital signal processing has transformed optical communications at data rates of 100Gb\/s, 400Gb\/s, 800Gb\/s and above and about the changes necessary to DWDM systems for operating efficiently at these data rates.<br \/>\nUnderstanding how the right mix of optical and electronic technologies is used to overcome limitations is a recurring theme of the course, as is the role of SDN and its implications for facilitating open systems including open optical line systems, disaggregation, Open ROADMs &amp; white box solutions. By the end of the course you\u2019ll appreciate the fundamental limitations that apply, &amp; the trade-offs &amp; compromises you may need to make. This means you will be able to make sensible and effective strategic decisions &amp; long-term plans for your network.<\/p>\n<p>This course uses a case study scenario throughout the course, which helps provide context and lets us look at the subject from a variety of perspectives. You&#8217;ll receive a comprehensive course manual which is a great reference resource, as well as access to additional online resources including review questions to help you revise. You&#8217;ll usually work with another delegate\/s to complete a project assignment using OTT&#8217;s unique virtual optical network training system, WhizzieKit. And you&#8217;ll also need to pass a theory assessment to gain Certified Optical Network Engineer (CONE) status.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<div class=\"elegant-skew-heading-wrapper\" style=\"--background_color_1:#00b65f;--background_color_2:#3bb57a;\"><div class=\"elegant-skew-heading elegant-skew-direction-left\" style=\"background: background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(#00b65f), to(#3bb57a));background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, #00b65f, #3bb57a);background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, #00b65f, #3bb57a);background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, #00b65f, #3bb57a);background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, #00b65f, #3bb57a);;\"><h3 class=\"elegant-skew-heading-text\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;\">Is it the right course for you or your team?<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_row_inner remove_bottom_col_margin=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1667919701479{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1762598491390{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221; line_height=&#8221;snug&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-417 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/CONE-set-of-applications-min.png\" alt=\"Applications for CONE: Subsea, core networks, cloud &amp; CDN, DCI, Financial networks, NRENs\" width=\"886\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/CONE-set-of-applications-min.png 1134w, https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/CONE-set-of-applications-min-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/CONE-set-of-applications-min-1024x223.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/CONE-set-of-applications-min-150x33.png 150w, https:\/\/www.ott.training\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/CONE-set-of-applications-min-768x167.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The CONE optical network certification programme is designed for those dealing with demanding applications for optical network applications including subsea links,\u00a0 core networks, cloud and CDN applications, Data centre interconnects, financial networks and some national and educational research networks. The range of job roles that need a solid understanding of optical networks is increasing. You may already be working with optical networks and need to take some time to focus on making sense of all the new developments that you have been hearing about, to help you decide how to take your network forward. Or you may be an IP specialist who is finding that you now need to know about optical networks, due to the trend towards network disaggregation. Or you may even be a software engineer involved in supporting SDN and finding that you need to know more about optical networks.<\/p>\n<p>Typical job roles of attendees include: Optical Network Engineer, Optical Network Design Engineer, Optical Network architect, Network Architect &#8211; DWDM\/Optical, Core network designer, Design &amp; Implementation Engineer: DWDM &amp; WAN, Strategic network planner, Optical Transport Designer\/Engineer Specialist, Transmission system engineer, IP network Specialist, SDN Engineer, Software Development Engineer for SDN
