Course Summary
Modern technology is constantly evolving and improving, and every organisation in the modern world has to use data connections to conduct daily functions.
There are an increasing number of ways of digital data communication, and as standards evolve, more issues have risen, too. Before implementing ethernet to a 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, is also crucial.
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 greatly impacts 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.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Review basic principles of data communication.
- Consider appropriate data communication strategies.
- Assess the advantages and disadvantages of data communication.
- Analyse key features of modern digital communication systems.
- Evaluate what challenges digital communication may face and possible solutions.
- Understand all 10, 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) aspects.
- Explain how GbE is adapted for MAC and PCS interfaces.
- Recognise the different properties of ethernet and how its use is widespread.
- Reflect on previous ethernet models and how they have evolved into GbE.
This course is designed for anyone who wishes to develop their data communication and transmission skills. It would be most beneficial for:
- Communication Specialists
- Data Analysts
- Electrical Engineers
- System Engineers
- System Analysts
- Technical Managers
- Control and Instrumentation Engineers
- Electrical Engineering Managers
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review established gigabit ethernet connections to highlight key functions and features.
They will be supplied with the necessary tools for the given learning exercises. They will also partake in various presentations, practical demonstrations and activities. Participants will have every opportunity to develop a full and comprehensive understanding of the taught subjects. They will also be able to analyse current data communication processes and utilise their own skills to implement improvements.
