Optical Network Professional Certification - NEW!Learn the foundations of WDM transmission and principles, optical network design, network element architectures, and management of Nokia 1830 PSS based networks. |
 |
The Nokia Optical Network Professional is an entry-level certification that is focused on understanding the essentials of optical networking. It is designed for engineers, IT, and network planning personnel who need to acquire the basic principles and practices of optical networking. It covers the main concepts of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) transmission systems (principles, standards, and components) and focuses on three main themes: optical network design, network elements, and the network management system. Upon successful completion, candidates will become familiarized with the Engineering and Planning Tool (EPT), practice with Switched WDM nodes (including the Photonic Service Switch family – PSS-32 and PSS-24x), and manage the network through the Network Functions Manager for Transport (NFM-T). In addition, it also covers optical network equipment, interworking principles, node functionalities, main transport technologies, and basic concepts related to protection, restoration, control, and management.
Upon successfully completing the Nokia Optical Network Professional, candidates will have developed foundational knowledge of WDM transmission and principles, optical network design, network element architectures, and management of Nokia 1830 PSS based networks and be able to design and build a simple optical network using the 1830 EPT and NFM-T on a simple 1830 PSS-based network.
