Telecom Training Associates is a vendor-neutral, independent telecommunications training organization. All employees are former Telcordia Technologies (Bellcore) Learning Services technical telecom course developers and instructors. The organization was formed in early 2004. Since then, we have been teaching our classes to clients worldwide. We are 100% veteran owned.
Our areas of expertise are telecom signaling including SS7, Sigtran, Diameter, SIP, IMS and VoIP. All of our instructors are CompTIA CTT+ Certified Professionals and SS7 certified. Our client-site classes can be customized to individual telecom networks, thus adding to its value. We can partner with member companies to augment their own training programs with some or all of our current courseware. In short, we are a value-added resource allowing companies to offer pertinent, high-quality training to their employees or clients. We work with all client companies to ensure they receive job-relevant, high-quality training. We deliver courses ranging from executive overviews to highly detailed protocol specific courses designed for Engineers, Planners and Technicians. There are two overall areas where Telecom Training Associates helps their clients. The first is to provide "off-the-shelf" or customized training in one of the disciplines that we teach. This allows us to be flexible to the needs of our customers. Often times they have certain employees needing a higher level instruction and others requiring a more detailed explanation. We can take our existing course modules and tailor them to individual company needs. The second area that we help our clients is by offering our courses as part of their own training curriculum. Many companies have their own high-quality training curriculums offered to their employees and customers. We can augment and enhance that curriculum by offering our courses to them.
For convenience all of our classes can be taught:
• Live over the web, via WebEx
• Recorded, via WebEx
We offer a variety of courses around several disciplines as shown. The following is a brief summary of what we offer:
• SS7 - SS7 is used by telephone switches to set up interoffice calls and to query databases.
• Sigtran - Explains the suite (group) of protocols that use the name "Sigtran". This is used where companies use the services of the higher layers of the SS7 protocol but the lower layers of a packet-based IP network.
• Diameter - The Diameter course covers the base protocol as well as the 3GPP interfaces related to IMS, LTE and PCC.
• SIP - Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the signaling protocol used to set up interoffice voice paths using Voice over IP (VoIP).
• IMS - The IP Multi-media Subsystem (IMS) as defined by the 3GPP, is an architecture that enables network operators to offer their subscribers multimedia services based on and built upon internet applications, services and protocols.
• VoIP - Voice over IP (VoIP) is another fundamentals class explaining the principles of transporting voice over a packet-based network.
• Number Portability - We offer both Local Number Portability (LNP) and Wireless Number Portability (WNP) courses.
• LTE - a high level view of the architecture and interfaces used in Long Term Evolution (LTE).
All of our courses are written in such a fashion that they can easily be customized and tailored to individual clients.
