Telecommunications
Essentials of ATM
Invest two days and learn about the most powerful convergence technology ever,
Asynchronous Transfer Mode. Come and learn why this pivotal technology permeates
every element of networking today, in LANs and WANs, at the network's edge and
in the network's core. What's behind it all? Find answers in two days that will
help you understand the market and technical dynamics of networking in the 21st
century.
Gain a thorough understanding of how and why ATM came to be, the ATM RoadMap,
how ATM works, and how it interworks with SONET/SDH, frame relay, IP and more,
making ATM the Swiss Army Knife of networking. Judge for yourself whether ATM
has made history as the convergence tool that will enable an entire new
generation of networking.
Who Should Attend
Carriers, carrier service providers and equipment manufacturers, technical
marketing and sales professionals and network/system/application engineers will
find value in this class, as will MIS, telecommunications managers and
professionals involved in building core converged networks. Those involved in
extending enterprise network services to local workgroups and departmental LANs,
consultants and integrators, will also benefit from this class.
Prerequisites
An understanding of the OSI Model will be helpful.
Workshop Objectives:
- Understand the developmental history, market and technical forces that
have propelled the inauguration, shape and deployment of ATM.

and additional protocols.
- Be able to define convergence and render an informed opinion as to the
extent ATM fulfills the need for network consolidation.
