Knowledge of networking tools and technologies is essential to the understanding of modern telecommunication systems. Networking deals with keeping systems connected over various transmission technologies, and how to provide this service fast, efficiently, and reliably. Networks are very dynamic systems - new transmission technologies are continuously introduced, providing better support for the network system as such, but also making certain requirements upon it. In addition, the industry anticipates an even larger expansion in the provision of advanced services to subscribers in the corporate and residential domains, such as networked digital television or multimedia conferencing. The subject of this course is how the network system provides communication between systems to deliver content, both in traditional fixed and newer wireless systems, and how all this is changing.
