Course Name:
VoIP Fundamentals
Course Length: 2 days
Description: The
purpose of this course is to provide an understanding of Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) and its use in telecommunication networks. VoIP
Fundamentals will give you the knowledge necessary understand evolving
telecommunications network. The course
covers an overview of basic terms and concepts of both the circuit-switched and
packet-based networks. It explains IP
(Internet Protocol) architectures and protocols that are being used to
implement VoIP.

What You Will
Learn: You will
learn the concepts of how voice, along with data and video can be transported
using a common protocol – Internet Protocol (IP). Emphasis is placed on architectures and
protocols needed in a VoIP network. We
will also see how interconnection between the PSTN signaling protocols and the
protocols used in VoIP is accomplished.
Who Will Benefit
From This Course: As
networks migrate toward VoIP, this course will be valuable for those
individuals responsible for planning, designing, marketing, managing or
supporting almost any area of telecommunications.
Course
Prerequisites: A basic
knowledge of telephony, IP and signaling would be helpful, but not essential.
Instructors: All of our instructors have
years of experience developing and teaching technical courses at Telcordia
Technologies (formerly Bellcore) Learning Services in Lisle, IL. They are all CompTIA CTT+ Certified
Professionals and SS7 certified.
