Introduction to the basics of telecommunication services and networks.

Familiarises students with services, technologies and protocols in telecommunication networks and architecture of telecommunication networks. After an introductory discussion of the OSI model, builds a unique view on the overall telecom infrastructure. The first half of the course deals with the core technology of telco telecommunication systems such as DWDM optical network, SDH, ATM network and finally an IP network as the basis of today's Internet and all services provided through it. The second half of the course deals with the access technologies from local computer networks such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi, using cellular access networks of all ages GPRS/3G/LTE to use wired broadband DSL and cable technologies and optics approach.
