Telecommunications
Voice over IP for CATV
This is a 3-day workshop covering all the major topics and issues involved in
planning, deploying and managing an IP/CATV solution. A basic understanding of
data networking and telephony is assumed. Your attendance will expose you to the
latest packetized voice (VoIP), TCP/IP, voice transport, and CATV industry
best-practices including standardized session protocols (SIP and H.323),
converged circuit/packet architectures, VoIP management, and current CATV vendor
case studies in a multidimensional learning environment involving lectures,
examples and exercises oriented toward real life situations.
The workshop will focus on applying the theory learned during the first part
of the sessions with the practices of management, monitoring, and control of an
organization's voice and packet environments. The concepts of understanding the
"what" and "how" of designing, developing, and installing
packetized systems will be integrated with the "why" and
"wherefore" of sound communication planning and management of existing
digital networking infrastructures. Issues of preserving existing investments,
staged implementations and solutions will be prominent throughout the session
discussions to ensure the participant's grasp of making packetized solutions
including telephony and multimedia environments practical, efficient, and
cost-effective.
Who Should Attend
This workshop will be very beneficial to all those involved in an
organization's information and telephony infrastructure efforts: informational
services personnel, telephony administrators, technical support personnel,
customer sales engineers, production development engineers, wireless engineers,
network support personnel and their associated managers and supervisors. In
addition, technical and management personnel from organizations that have
deployed VoIP platforms, and need in-depth information on how to achieve
improved return on investments from packetized services will also benefit from
attendance.
Workshop Objectives:
- Understand what VoIP is, and how it can positively impact an organization.
- Understand the impact of VoIP on a CATV's local and remote operations.

- Describe Codecs used in the CATV and VoIP and content streaming standards.
- Learning the impact of QoS (quality of service) issues on converged
networks.
- Discuss the difference between DiffServ and IntServ solutions for
packetized networks.
- Review network implementation issues and testing.
- Discuss VoIP management and support challenges.
