Learn about the basic building blocks of communication systems and where the blocks fit into an operational system.
This course will introduce you to the constructs of the differing communication site technologies utilized in Mission Critical, Commercial, and Enterprise communication systems. A high level of understanding of the governing bodies and standards created to drive consistency in today’s communication systems. It is essential that today's technologist has a solid background in the concepts and regulations that go into maintaining critical communications systems.
Students will obtain the knowledge and understanding required to differentiate between the differing communication system technologies and the regulating bodies that strive to ensure safe and harmonious utilization of available spectrum. Students will gain an understanding of the difference between P25 systems, DMR systems, and CBRS systems. The basic building blocks of communication systems will be described and where the blocks fit into an operational system will be discussed.
