Public Fibre Optic Training Courses
Certified Optical Network Associate (CONA)
This course introduces optical networking and the types of systems that are in widespread commercial deployment. You will learn how to design, plan and implement cost effective, efficient, high capacity optical networks or interconnects.
Purpose
The course focuses on networks that use either a single channel per fibre, or multiple channels using CWDM and DWDM technology, providing typically up to 10 or 25Gb/s per channel and up to 80 channels per fibre.
This may include metro or core networks, mobile backhaul/FTTA, Data Centre Interconnect (DCI), or dark fibre links and long haul systems that also use fibre amplifiers. You will learn what is required for satisfactory system performance of such networks & how the performance can be affected by the properties and the quality of the physical fibre infrastructure including such issues as attenuation, chromatic dispersion & polarisation mode dispersion (PMD).
A great course for those that need a broad foundation of knowledge of optical networks, it suits job roles such as: planner, project manager, operations staff, network manager
Features
Key Outcomes
- Design optical links that provide high capacity - typically up to 10 or 25Gb/s per channel and up to 80 channels per fibre
- Specify the components that are required to build a transmission link and describe how they should be configured
- Determine the optical power budget of different transmission systems
- Calculate the optical loss budget for a transmission link
- Assess the quality of existing fibre infrastructure and its suitability for different systems
- Decide when and where optical amplifiers are needed and identify suitable products
- Calculate whether chromatic dispersion compensation is required for a link, and if so specify an appropriate DCM
- Verify that a link design is viable in terms of power levels, chromatic dispersion limits and PMD levels
Role
This is a great course for those that need a broad foundation of knowledge of optical communications networks. 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. This is a foundation course in optical networking, so there are no pre-requisites. For company specific courses for groups of delegates, then it is possible to add some customisation to the CONA course to highlight issues for specific applications.
