CONA is an intense 5-day training program in optical networking


ABOUT THIS EVENT

What do you get from the registration fees?

 * 5-days of intense and interactive training on the fundamentals of optical
   networking
 * 550+ pages of course manual to be downloaded from the OTT resources page
 * Access to OTT CONA online resources
 * OTT theory evaluation at the end of the training
 * OTT CONA certificate ( subject to passing the evaluation)

What you will learn in this optical network training:

CONA is the first of two vendor neutral intense 5-day optical network training
courses from Optical Technology Training (OTT). CONA is designed to offer
prospective optical network engineers the ins and outs of optical networking. It
covers networks that use single channel or multiple channels using DWDM or CWDM.
These include metro networks, FTTA, DCIs, long haul networks and other WANs.
Delegates learn what is required for satisfactory system performance of such
networks, how CD and PMD, affect network performance and how they are mitigated.

Delegates should pass an examination and a network design assignment to be CONA
certified. Delegates will also be awarded IEEE Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
certificates.Successful candidates have the option to take the more advanced
NG-CONE course which focus on concepts in higher speed optical networking, such
as 400Gbps.

COURSE SYLLABUS

Key outcomes:

 * Design optical links that provide high capacity, typically up to10 or 25Gb/s
   per channel and up to 80 channels per fiber
 * Specify the components that are required to build a transmission link and
   describe how they should be configured
 * Design links for performance and testability
 * Determine the optical power budget of different transmission systems
 * Calculate the optical loss budget for a transmission link
 * Assess the quality of existing fiber infrastructure and its suitability for
   different systems
 * Decide when and where optical amplifiers are needed and identify suitable
   products
 * Calculate whether chromatic dispersion compensation is required for a link,
   and if so specify an appropriate DCM
 * Verify that a link design is viable in terms of power levels, chromatic
   dispersion limits and PMD levels

FIBERGUIDE

Organizer of Certified Optical Network Associate (CONA) Training - October

FibergGuide is a training and consulting company with three core competencies:
wide area network solutions, fiber optic training and network engineering
services. At FiberGuide, we leverage our technical expertise, many years of
experience in fiber optics and Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
and strong partnerships with key industry players to provide services to the
telecommunication and IT industries.

FiberGuide Wide Area Network Solutions

Partnering with master agent Telarus, FiberGuide leverages access to hundreds of
global carriers to create a one stop source for a wide range WAN solutions. With
