Course detail
Accesses and Transports Networks
FEKT-BPTSAcad. year: 2018/2019
The subject deals with the evolution of telecommunication networks and their convergence with computer networks. The stress is placed on modern analysis of access and transport networks while considering their diversity and also concurrent features together with the application of analogue and digital modulations. Primary attention is given to the complex usage of an E1 frame by G.703 recommendation. Students obtain a view of the private and public EWSD and S12 telephony exchanges, they understand the principles of digital switches S and T, of the current signalling system SS7 and of the SIP internet exchange. Modern computer networks are explained using the CISCO technology for network elements. Students extend their knowledge of packet switching, protocols of Ethernet networks, switching in LAN networks, VLAN virtual networks, WLAN wide networks, frame Relay networks, and others.
