Data Communications
and Telecommunications Fundamentals - 2 Days
The information super highway is evolving rapidly. The need for bandwidth is now the rule. Getting connected is not enough, speed and volume of traffic have become major concerns. Music and video on demand will soon be the norm. The days when we will be using the WEB to view videos and listen to the latest music is fast approaching. Today, telecom companies, and public utility are targeting for a piece of the bandwidth pie. No one can put a dollar figure on this technology, but I assure you it's huge. This 2 day seminar covers the technical fundamentals of data and telecommunications in easy to understand language, so that even non technical professionals can build a solid understanding and be better equipped to follow the progress of these technologies as they evolve at a breath-taking pace. We have been presenting this seminar across Canada and the US and our customers have been raving about it. This is the best seminar on Data Communications and Telecommunications available. We are confident in saying this because our customers have said so. Over 1000 to date.
