Course Summary
Modern technology is constantly evolving and improving, and every organisation within the modern world has to utilise data connection in some way to conduct daily functions.
There is an increasing amount of ways of digital data communication, and as standards evolve, more issues have risen too. Before implementing ethernet to network, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of pre-existing networks and transmission methods. Knowledge of the processes of OSI models, and the seven layers that revolve around communication, including data link, network and application.
Comprehension of data communication will be greatly beneficial when attempting to understand gigabit ethernet processing. To integrate GbE into a network, it is vital to understand the different sub-layers of ethernet, and the protocols related to function and safety. Furthermore, the equipment utilised has a great impact on the effectiveness of ethernet, finding the right type of cable to match the desired data communication output and input should be a priority. To fully assess the capabilities of an ethernet connection, a fundamental block diagram can be created to predict and review the desired performance.
- To review basic principles of data communication.
- To consider appropriate data communication strategies.
- To assess the advantages and disadvantages of data communication.
- To analyse key features of modern digital communication systems.
- To evaluate what challenges a digital communication may face and possible solutions.
- To understand all aspects of 10, 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE).
- To explain how GbE is adapted for MAC and PCS interfaces.
- To recognise different properties of ethernet and how its use is widespread.
- To reflect on previous ethernet models and how they have evolved into GbE.
This course is designed for anyone who wishes to develop their skills in the area of data communication and transmission. It would be most beneficial for:
