Course description
This online course describes the characteristics, capabilities and applications of copper, optical fibre and wireless transmission media and explain the techniques used to maximise the traffic carrying capacity of those media.
This course introduces the techniques employed to transmit information over a telecommunications network and the properties of the transmission media employed to carry signals over long distances including copper wires, optical fibre and radio waves. A method of carrying information from different sources over the same transmission link is also explained.
This course is designed for those who require an introduction to the fundamental technical concepts that underpin modern telecommunications. The course is suitable for those joining the industry in a technical role especially those in an apprenticeship.
