The intense growth of the network provides very important opportunities for communication engineers. This course will cover Internet and World wide Web telecommunication issues such as performance analysis and modelling of telecommunication networks associated with an Internet linkage. It will also provide an understanding of bandwidth vs quality trade-offs for Internet based communication modes such as telephony, video conferencing, motion video and the compression technologies associated with these systems. Trends in communication technology which will bring optical fibre media and broadband ATM technology to the desktop will also be considered. This course is designed for those who are familiar with the Internet and now wish to establish a Web server.
Topics covered include configuration, security and application development.
Application development using Java will be introduced. Telecommunication networks are used to convey information between one point and another using these network components. This course concentrates on the operation of the switching centres and the basis for their design. This course will introduce and will enable the participant to develop an understanding and appreciation of the factors w3hich affect the design and operation of an optical fibre communication system. The principles and characteristics of optical fibres, optical sources, photodetectors and optical receivers are presented.
