COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The past has passed. The future is fibre. But fibre isn’t just in your bread. So what is it? What’s the UFB? What will it do for our business? And if our business should connect to it then how do we do so? Where does wireless fit in current and future technologies? What’s Ethernet? What’s WiMax and how does it work?
Need some clarity on current telecommunications systems and what the future might look like?
Then you need this Management level day-long programme. It’s a non-technical approach to current telecommunications systems like fibre, wireless, 4G/LTE, Ethernet, and will provide you with a greater understanding of the language and acronyms around the UFB and other methods of information delivery plus what it means for you and your business.
