Course 903: Telecommunication System Engineering

The course presents a technical overview of telecommunication networks from a system viewpoint, with the aim of showing how one discipline can interact with another to reach a desired goal. It covers all the concepts necessary for a complete understanding of the design of practical telecommunication networks, whether they are meant to carry voice, data, facsimile, telemetry, video, or any combination of these. Both local and long distance (toll) switching and transmission along with VoIP and convergent networks are covered, all in great detail.

This course provides you with a comprehensive telecom system engineering fundamentals covering today and tomorrow's technologies and concepts.
