Introduction
This training program is designed by Global Horizon Training Center to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of fiber optic communications. Participants will learn about the basic principles of light transmission through fiber optic cables, the components of a fiber optic communication system, and the different types of fiber optic cables and their applications. The program will also cover the advantages and disadvantages of fiber optic communications over other communication technologies, such as copper wire and wireless communication.
Methodologies
The training program will use a combination of lectures, hands-on activities, case studies, and group discussions to provide participants with a well-rounded learning experience. Lectures will cover the theoretical concepts of fiber optic communications, including the basic principles of light transmission, the different types of fibers and cables, modulation techniques, amplifiers, and performance analysis. Hands-on activities will allow participants to work with fiber optic cables, connectors, and splices in a safe and controlled environment. Case studies will be presented to illustrate the practical benefits of fiber optic communications in real-world applications. Group discussions will provide opportunities for participants to share their experiences and perspectives on fiber optic communications.
