Description
A practical two-day course covering modern DWDM, coherent optics, ROADM, OTN, DCI, 400ZR/800ZR, IP-over-DWDM and network automation.
Participants will learn how 100G, 400G and 800G services are transported across modern metro, backbone and data centre networks, and how optical networks are evolving for cloud, AI and hyperscale infrastructure. The course is vendor-neutral and focused on real-world architectures, operations, troubleshooting and automation.
