This course is an educational class designed to develop and enhance the practical skills of instrument technicians, electronic technicians, and electricians in the field of fiber optics.  Fiber optic fundamentals, including transmitter and receiver concepts, system concepts, system measurements (power, loss, OTDR), fiber optic cabling, splicing (fusion and mechanical), connector inspection, and installation procedures are addressed. The course provides extensive hands-on training using in-class laboratory sessions evaluated by the instructor with both splicing and termination certification. If you are responsible for or involved in the design, test, and installation of fiber optic systems, this course is intended for you. A shorter one-day class is also available if desired.

Duration:    2 days                                               Cost:    $995.00

This course is an educational class designed to provide engineers, engineering managers, computer scientists, and system designers with the technical skills to design and specify applicable operational fiber optic links and networks. The technical presentation assumes the participant has an engineering degree or equivalent experience. It does not assume prior knowledge in the areas of optics or optical communications. The course studies the individual components required for a complete fiber optics communications system including transmitter and receiver design, fiber dispersion mechanism, bandwidths and related communications system analysis using signal to noise ratios and error performance. In addition to the lectures, laboratory demonstrations are conducted with some hands-on sessions.

Duration:    1 day                                               Cost:    $495.00

This course is an educational class designed to provide sales personnel, distributors, managers, and staff people desiring a knowledge of fiber optics without the in-depth engineering theory and extensive practice. The seminar does not assume prior knowledge in the areas of optics or optical communications. The course covers the basics of fiber optic components and the role they play in an operational fiber optic communications system. In addition to the lectures, some demonstrations are conducted.

Duration:    1 day                                               Cost:    $595.00

This training class presents a broad scope of data and communications standards, architectures, hardware, and system technologies evident in today's local area networks. It is intended to provide fundamental networking education to all personnel responsible for the design selection, management, installation, and operation of local area networks.

Duration:    1 day                                               Cost:    $495.00

This course is intended to introduce engineers, managers, technicians, and sales personnel to the myriad applications and systems where fiber optics can be utilized and how it can be applied. Operational concepts, design techniques, and typical system designs are presented in detail. This course is a must for those individuals seeking information about how to fully exploit fiber optic technology in areas such as instrumentation, control systems, and telecommunications.

Duration:    2 days                                               Cost:    $795.00

Today's networking environments have extended the bound of local area networks into a geographically-dispersed and fully integrated system that transports voice, data, and images. Networks are no longer "toys for technologists". Instead, they are means by which companies maintain strategic and competitive advantages as their marketplace expands nationally and internationally. This class presents the telecommunications services, WAN technologies, and standards employed in today's wide area networks. It is intended to provide fundamental networking knowledge, so that designers, managers, and installers can select a WAN technology that optimizes and combines the transmission of data and other telecommunications needs of a corporation.

Duration:    1/2 day                                             Cost:    $295.00

                      1 day abbreviated class                Cost:    $495.00

This course is intended for those contractors and electricians who are interested only in developing the skills to install fiber optic cables, without termination services. This is especially useful when clients expect to terminate their own fiber optic cable for themselves. Special handling procedures and practices are addressed for each type of cable.

Duration:    1 day                                               Cost:    $495.00

This course is intended to teach those individuals needing to understand the techniques used in microwave and wireless system siting. The course addresses free-space propagation, rainfall, and normal 4/3 earth conditions. Other effective k factors and Fresnel clearances are also covered.
