SDH Transmission System and Network Management

Overview

  • Telecom backbone and access network is predominantly run on OFC network using SDH Transmission System.
  • The SDH technique features numerous functions and advantages, beginning with its very high transmission capacity
  • High capacity SDH backbone networks are the transmission infrastructure not only of legacy telephone networks, but also of packet-switched broadband networks.
  • Ethernet over SDH (EoSDH) is the new trend in the transmission network.
  • NOC can monitor the health of transmission network.

Duration:  Two weeks – Instructor led training.
