TITLE: Fundamentals of Telecom 1 - Overview
COMPANY: Teracom Training Institute http://www.teracomtraining.com
DATE: May 15 2007
TYPE: Tutorial, DVD

URL: http://www.teracomtraining.com/teracom-overview-v1.htm

It all starts with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
and Plain Ordinary Telephone Service (POTS). We’ll begin with
the basics of telephony: loops, trunks, circuits, analog, the
voiceband… fundamentals that are key to understanding of
newer technologies and services.

To complete the picture, we take a practical journey through
different types of equipment. We’ll review switches, PBXs,
Centrex, multiplexers and routers, as well as ancillary equipment
like ACDs, voice mail and interactive voice response (IVR) systems.

With this framework in place, we’ll review the telecommunications
industry and understand the main players and competitors,
how Local Exchange Carriers connect to Inter-Exchange Carriers
and how CLECs fit into the picture.

The topics in this video course - how the telephone system and
industry work, provide the essential foundation on which
everything else, including digital communications, data circuits
and networking are built. 2 hours 22 minutes of career- and
productivity-enhancing training!

Many people tell us this is training they wish they’d had years ago.
