Nokia Optical Network Design Expert Certification

The Nokia Optical Network Design Expert is an intermediate level certification in the ONC program that is focused on network design. The Nokia Optical Network Design Expert targets intermediate to senior level professionals who wish to acquire advanced practical knowledge and experience in the design of Wavelength Division Multiplexing WDM networks based on the Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS), using the 1830 Engineering and Planning Tool (EPT). In addition, the Nokia Optical Network Design Expert provides a solid background on related topics including optical system engineering, network and site optimization, node architectures, Optical Transport Network (OTN), Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS), availability and survivability (protection and restoration), as well as advanced requirements such as latency and encryption.

Nokia Optical Network Design Expert Key Learning Outcomes

Upon successfully completing the Nokia Optical Network Design Expert, students will have developed in-depth working knowledge in optical network design with: different node architectures, GMPLS control plane, quality of transmission guarantees, availability constraints, advanced requirements (e.g., encryption, latency), and hardware and site constraints requiring advanced optimization (e.g., maximum load constraint). Refer to the Nokia Optical Network Design Expert brochure for further details on learning objectives.
