The planning and design of today’s optical networks can be complicated by the availability of a wide range fiber types, systems and technologies and the incessant need to upgrade to higher data rates. Organizations that do not have in-house optical networking talent oftentimes resort to using system and fiber optic vendors as consultants to recommend their network design and what should go into their networks. This is where I come in, I can offer an objective view of how best your network should be designed based on current bandwidth requirements and projected long term traffic patterns. I can also empower your staff to handle different critical optical networking roles through intense 5-day training programs. Below are some of the areas in which I can support your organization.• CWDM/DWDM network planning and design• Network simulation using OptiSystem• Fiber optic and systems specifications• Power and OSNR budget calculations• OTDR testing, trace analysis and reporting• CD and PMD testing and analysis• Optical spectral measurements and analysis• Dark fiber sourcing• Network solution (IP transit, DIA, Wavelength services…) sourcing I offer the following intense 5-day courses, developed, and certified by Optical Technology Training (OTT), for your team at your location or in pre-scheduled classes in Arlington, VA. • Certified Optical Network Associate (CONA)• Certified Optical Network Engineer (CONE)• Certified Fiber Characterization Engineer (CFCE)
