Course Details

Even with the introduction of packet based 4G systems, circuit switched networks are still a major part of Service Assurance. This course requires access to your own service assurance monitoring and troubleshooting tools to aid in the investigation of potential network issues. In so doing, accessibility,  retainability and mobility scenarios and workflows are examined.
