COURSE OVERVIEW

Communications networks are rapidly evolving into policy-based, packet-oriented networks designed to provide a particular quality-of-services (QoS) for subscribers while reducing the costs associated with capital expansions, network operations, and management.  If you are involved with telecommunications engineering, deployment, strategy, marketing, or service creation, it is critical that you understand the technology and business implications of IMS.

In this IP Multimedia Subsystem Training (IMS) In-Depth course, you will study IMS from all angles including the technology, status of wireless and wireline standards, key challenges posed by the technology, financial drivers for its adoption, deployment, and even security considerations.  You will also study the issue of network policy and how the different levels and types of policies for QoS and admission control have an important bearing on traffic engineering in evolving networks.  We will conclude with a look at the future of telecommunications networks, including a flat, all-IP infrastructure.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

COURSE OBJECTIVES

After completing this IMS Training | IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Training course, students will be able to:

  • Identify the market trends that are currently shaping the evolution of fixed and wireless networks.
  • List the key technology considerations that impact the evolution of networks.
  • Describe the major components of the IMS system and how they work together.
  • Describe how the traffic engineering of the evolving networks will require an understanding of the underlying network policies.

CUSTOMIZE IT

Let us know your reason for interest in this technology, so we can expand those portions of this MPLS course that are pertinent to your job.  For instance:

  • Are you a network engineer with a mobile or fixed wireless operator?  Let us know the areas of interest to you – whether — planning, growth, capital budgeting, or operations – so we can tailor the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) course accordingly.
  • Are you an RF engineer who would like to “fill in the holes” in your knowledge of core networks?  If so, we can present an overview of the state-of-the-art of core networks and how the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) fits into it.
  • Are you in marketing and interested in value-added services?  Let us know so we can focus on the types of new services that are enabled by IMS.
  • Are you a manager or executive involved with technology strategy?  If so, we can emphasize the economic impact of the technologies such as capital expenditure, meeting financial targets, parts of the network that may be candidates for cost savings versus those that may not be, and the economic issues posed by the potential technology migration options.

AUDIENCE/TARGET GROUP

The target audience for this IMS Training course:

  • Those responsible for telecommunications planning, design, engineering, deployment, business strategy, marketing, and services creation.
