Course Overview

This comprehensive training course provides a practical and advanced understanding of core network technologies and telecommunications infrastructure that support modern communication services. It focuses on the architecture, components, technologies, and operational principles of core networks within telecommunications environments. The program examines core network architecture, IP-based networks, transport infrastructure, switching and routing, mobile core networks, optical transport, data center connectivity, network virtualization, cloud infrastructure, and the integration of core networks with access and service platforms. Particular emphasis is placed on network availability, scalability, redundancy, resilience, traffic management, interoperability, performance monitoring, and infrastructure security. Participants will explore how core networks support large-scale voice, data, mobile, cloud, enterprise, and digital services. Through architecture analysis, infrastructure case studies, technical exercises, and network design workshops, participants will develop the ability to understand core network components, analyze connectivity and capacity requirements, evaluate infrastructure options, identify performance and reliability issues, and support the evolution of modern telecommunications core networks.
