In the last few years the telecoms sector has experienced rapid changes in the services it provides and the technologies that underpin service delivery. And these advances continue to alter the telecoms landscape.

Keeping pace with these changes is a challenge which PTT meets on your behalf. Courses in PTT’s extensive catalogue are regularly updated to reflect the latest techniques, systems and services. For example, updated versions of the following online courses have recently been released:

DLA: “ADSL principles” describes how broadband services are provided over copper wires.

TAF: “IP networks” introduces the techniques and protocols employed in IP networks.

 FAB: “Optical access networks” describes the use of optical fibre in access networks with emphasis on the practical aspects of installation and testing. 

Broadband users want ever faster Internet connections and TV packages with more choice and higher viewing quality.

To meet their customers’ expectations, cable operators are upgrading their networks and systems.

PTT’s online learning solutions provide a cost-effective way of ensuring technical and managerial staff keep pace with the advances in technology that allow those enhancements.

PTT’s new online course TCF: “Hybrid fibre coax systems” provides a comprehensive guide to cable systems and services and possible system upgrades.

The number of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) connections will exceed one billion by 2018 and two billion by 2020 a recent study from Juniper Research concluded. This projected number of active VoLTE connections compares with an estimated 123 million connections currently.

The report concludes that the Far East and China will account for over 50 percent of the global VoLTE connections in five years’ time.

According to figures from the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), 25 operators in 16 countries have launched VoLTE services as of July this year.

PTT’s online course MBG: “LTE mobile systems” includes an explanation of the operation and benefits of VoLTE while MOF: “LTE (4G) mobile radio networks” introduces the principles and features of LTE.
