IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Training Course with Hands-On Exercises (Online, Onsite and Classroom Live)

Communications networks are rapidly evolving into policy-based, packet-oriented networks designed to provide a particular quality-of-services (QoS) for subscribers while reducing the costs associated with capital expansions, network operations, and management.  If you are involved with telecommunications engineering, deployment, strategy, marketing, or services creation, it is critical that you understand the technology and business implications of IMS.

In this IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Training or IMS Training course, you will study IMS from all angles including the technology, status of wireless and wireline standards, key challenges posed by the technology, financial drivers for its adoption, deployment, and even security considerations.  You will also study the issue of network policy and how the different levels and types of policies for QoS and admission control have important bearing on traffic engineering in the evolving networks.  We will conclude with a look at the future of telecommunications networks, including a flat, all-IP infrastructure.
