Carriers have offered connectivity services based on traditional TDM, Frame Relay, ATM, DSL, and even SDH for many years. However customers now use Ethernet as the interface of choice for virtually all services and applications. The cost of operating separate networks to provide each service, as well as the need to sell higher bandwidth services than can be offered with traditional networks, is forcing carriers to move to newer, more cost effective technologies such as Ethernet, Backbone Bridging, IP and MPLS.
The course is led by an MEF-CECP certified instructor who is knowledgeable in all the facets and nuances of Carrier Ethernet.
This course provides an overview of Carrier Ethernet technologies, the MEF specifications for services and how these can be delivered over carrier core, metro and access networks along with other services deployed over a range of core transport and access technologies. It then provides a solid introduction to the principles of network and service design.
This course is designed to prepare attendees to take the MEF Carrier Ethernet Certified Professional 2.0 examination. The exam is included in the cost of the course.
Product managers, product planners, Pre-Sales managers, sales engineers, engineers, technical solutions architects, business solutions engineers and managers. Individual who designs Carrier Ethernet Switching solution for service providers or anyone interested in deploying Carrier Ethernet services.
