| Summary |
|---|
| The subject Network Technologies I is oriented on an overview of all important developing network technologies for the transmission of various types of information like voice, data, video or multimedia information. It includes circuit-switched and packet-switched networks. An attention is also dedicated to optical transmission networks that create an inseparable part of a network communication infrastructure, various network procedures for a connection establishment with the specified service quality and fundamentals of the network management. It is also interested in LAN networks, WAN networks, Internet, access networks and various wireless technologies. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
To understand the concept and principle of network technologies, including methods of data transmission.
Learning outcomes are set so that the students are able to identify, apply and solve tasks in the field of network technologies. |
