Annotation
The communication systems are presented in wide area network context. The optical technology in backbone networks is dominant segment of the subject. The transmission and multiplexing of the digital signals are primary part of the subject, the reliability, distribution of clock, management, monitoring and design of the network are secondary part of the subject. The students can use theoretic knowledge in practice while working on the model project of transmission network.
Study targets
Students will gain knowledge particularly in the technology backbone of optical systems and networks. Students will learn to configure, monitor, test and design the transmission network.
