The Internet of Things (IoT) uses the protocols of the IP world to make new applications available and network a multitude of end devices. The classic network technologies and protocols constitute a basis for this task, at best. For the large-scale networking in IoT, new solutions are required. This training imparts both the technological basics for the networking of end devices with IPv4 and IPv6, as well as the special requirements of the IoT. Practice-related exercises in a test network permit a better insight into typical protocols and their implementation.

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.
-
Online training
- You wish to attend a course in online mode? We offer you online course dates for this course topic. To attend these seminars, you need to have a PC with Internet access (minimum data rate 1Mbps), a headset when working via VoIP and optionally a camera.
