Optical technology takes you far into the terabit range. It opens up a new dimension for all applications. Rediscover the world of light, lasers and optical fibers. Get an overview of phenomena such as attenuation and dispersion and an insight into components such as optical amplifiers, wavelength converters, connectors, etc. WDM is used as an example to show how terabit data streams can be transmitted and switched. Optical switches switch wavelengths regardless of the bit rate, frame size or technology. A look at optical networks and optical network protection rounds off the course.

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.
