It focuses on direct detection fibre optic networks which may use either a single channel per fibre, or multiple channels using CWDM and DWDM technology. These are found in applications such as metro networks, core networks, mobile backhaul, 5G backhaul, Fibre to the Antenna (FTTA) cell tower, Data Centre Interconnect (DCI), National Research and Education Networks (NREN), terrestrial Satcom links to and from Satellite earth stations, or other dark fibre links and also in some longer-haul systems using fibre amplifiers. You will learn what is required for the satisfactory system performance of these types of optical networks. You&#8217;ll discover how the performance can be affected by the properties and the quality of the physical fibre infrastructure, including such issues as attenuation, chromatic dispersion and polarisation mode dispersion (PMD).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-443 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ott.training\/staging-main\/wp-content\/uploads\/WK-in-use-cartoon-1-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ott.training\/staging-main\/wp-content\/uploads\/WK-in-use-cartoon-1-min.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.ott.training\/staging-main\/wp-content\/uploads\/WK-in-use-cartoon-1-min-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ott.training\/staging-main\/wp-content\/uploads\/WK-in-use-cartoon-1-min-150x128.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>This course uses a case study scenario to help provide context and let 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 acces 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ott.training\/staging-main\/about-us\/whizziekit\/\"><strong>virtual optical network training system, WhizzieKit<\/strong><\/a>.

It suits telecoms job roles such as: optical network planner, optical network operations staff, WAN Service Engineer, datacenter operations engineer, optical communications or fibre optic specialists for data centres. It is an ideal course for project teams to attend together as it promotes understanding of different roles in the process and the case study and assignment encourage discussion.
