Introduction to testing optical transport networks and G.709

This course covers the basics of optical transport networks (OTNs) in relation to the ITU-T G.709 recommendation. The training session discusses both theoretical and practical aspects; namely, G.709 test applications using EXFO’s FTB/IQS-8115/8120/8130 SONET/SDH analyzers.

Methodology

The first part of this course consists of lectures using PowerPoint presentations and demonstrations, while the second part provides practical training hands-on testing exercises using EXFO’s FTB/IQS-8115/8120/8130 SONET/SDH analyzers.

Documentation

Attendees will receive a binder containing copies of presentations and other printed handouts, if applicable. When available, a CD containing the electronic version (PDF format) of the presentation, as well as related application notes, will also be provided.
