The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a key component of Next Generation Networks. The IMS enables cross-provider access to services via the Internet Protocol. The 3GPP and ETSI define servers, switching points and the communication relationships and processes. The central protocol is SIP. The IMS standards describe security measures and concepts for ensuring quality of service. In the course of the course, a conceptual understanding of the IP Multimedia Subsystem is built up. Through in-depth discussion of the protocols and processes used, the necessary detailed knowledge is acquired to understand and competently assess the IMS.

Classroom training
- Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!
-
Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
