Wireless Broadband Systems & Future Access Technologies

The Broadband Access Technologies: FTTH, GPON, DSL & Wireless Systems training course begins with the structure and development of broadband access networks, reviewing the principal fixed and wireless technologies and the roles of access and core network components. It then examines copper-based broadband in greater depth, covering the DSL family, local-loop characteristics, system architecture and the factors affecting service reach and performance. The progression includes the main distinctions between DSL variants and their application within broadband access networks.

The course then moves from copper to fibre access, addressing fibre fundamentals, FTTH architectures, network elements, deployment configurations and passive optical networking. This leads into focused coverage of GPON architecture and operation, including optical distribution, transmission, bandwidth allocation, service handling and relevant network components. The final part considers wireless broadband systems, their architectures and access methods, together with the characteristics of the principal wireless technologies. The agenda concludes by relating wireless access to the wider range of broadband network options covered throughout the course.
