SDH Course SDH Training Classes Synchronous Digital Hierarchy(SDH) SONET training classes

Who should attend this SDH course

All staff responsible for the planning, design, management or support of networks employing SDH technology. Network managers, network engineers and all involved with SDH-based networks will find this course invaluable.

SDH Course Pre-requisites

A thorough knowledge of networking fundamentals, data transmission principles and the OSI 7-layer model is required prior to attending this course. Course 301: Introduction to Datacommunications and Networking is recommended as a minimum level of experience.

Lifetime Post-Course Support

After completing this SDH training course, delegates receive lifetime post-training support from LEVER Technology Group PLC, to help them apply the technologies and skills they have learned with us, to provide career-long support, and to ensure they are better equipped for their future roles in IT and networking.
