Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design a high-capacity dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical network suitable for a metropolitan area network (MAN) or long haul applications.It applies to individuals who are skilled technicians and excellent communicators who use optical technologies for the deployment of high capacity networks. The work involves link budget design and providing specification details for configuration and commissioning teams.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Telecommunications – Optical Networks field of work and include access to: manufacturer’s technical documentation relevant regulations system specifications. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards. |
