FTTX Planning, Design and Implementation (ODN)
Course Overview
This course explains the different FTTx architectures, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of the various solutions. It includes the key planning, design and construction rules of Optical Distribution Networks (ODN), as well as the challenges of network operations and maintenance.
A number of case studies will be considered and participants will get to be involved in hands-on practical lab work on designing networks in different scenarios using optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR), optical power meters, optical source (OLTS) and fusion splicing. They will also be taught the preparation of business cases for cost-benefit analysis.
Target Audience
Designers, planners, senior engineers, project managers, field engineers, quality control engineers, and for junior staff considered for elevation
