Introduction to telecoms

StarTel provides the most detailed and comprehensive interactive "Introduction to Telecoms" available. StarTel is packed with interactive simulations and hypertext-linked technical definitions. Sound clips are used to illustrate effects such as distortion and compare voice encoding techniques. As with all learntelecoms courses, StarTel also provides an extensive range of training facilities

StarTel consists of four courses:

Telecoms fundamentals
Principles of voice encoding and transmission
Telecoms networks
Telecoms services

The StarTel courses can be studied together as an integrated suite or individually when focussing on a particular aspect of telecoms. The four StarTel courses studied together provide the ideal introduction to telecommunications for technical staff joining, or planning to join, the telecoms industry. They can also assist in preparations for the achievement of a Telecommunications or Communications Technology National Vocational Qualification at level 3.

The "telecoms services" course provides an ideal overview of modern telecoms services for non-technical personnel such as sales and marketing staff.

For those requiring an in-depth understanding of IP telephony, it is suggested that the "Principles of voice" StarTel course and the TransNet course "Advanced IP networks"are studied as preparation for the MediaNet course "Voice over IP".
