The course introduces telecommunications networks and their various design and operation considerations. After a review of the widely used technologies and their applications, the course focuses on technical and economic aspects of network design including architecture considerations (access-core-homing); link and network quality indicators; basics of teletraffic engineering; preliminaries of network provisioning and backbone design; and CAPEX/OPEX considerations and tradeoffs. The course culminates in a real-world network analysis and/or design case study.
