Description: Imagine, for a moment, the ability to utilize a comprehensive dashboard type application that considers all the regulatory facts, is up to date, that you could insert your Telephone Company financial data into and then play What If? analysis for technologies like VoIP.
Only available at CellStream, this course combines a 1-day key technology discussion with an inroduction and test drive of a Business Case model tool we call our "Voice Over IP Dashboard" (proprietary to CellStream). All students use our "Voice Over IP Dashboard Tool" in the class to do a certified impact analysis of the regulatory change to VoIP and/or Video over IP on their business model. We have utilized the skills of a regulatory industry specialist to develop this tool and we think that every senior management team at every Service Provider can benefit from this class. The end of the one-day seminar concludes with a summary of thoughts, impact analysis, and plans for moving forward.
Length: 1-Day
Availability: after September 15, 2006. Contact us for interest.

Course Description:
Attended by hundreds of students already, this one-day course is jammed with information and learning. Also seen under the "POTS to Pipes 1" Seminar series, this course focuses on the basics of the Internet, the OSI model, IP Addressing and subnetting, IP Routing, TCP and UDP operation and impact, Quality of Service, and IP Services implementation overview (VoIP, Video, etc.).
All these subjects are presented in clear reference to the TDM and Voice switching world, contrasting and explaining the IP approach to what most service providers have mastered already. This is the fastest and most dense way to come up the learning curve on IP. It is also filled with discussion of the challenges of these services and will be informative to managers and technical people alike.
Note: For the those students who want to take this course to the next level, requiring hands on skills, we offer a 2.5 day course with hands on skills. Some students will attend the one-day seminar with management and then attend the 2.5 day hands on course. The Hands-On version of this course details are available - click here

Evolving the Service Provider networks is crucial to the evolution to next generation networking. Unbelievably, some people have written off service providers as "boat anchors" with "legacy technology". At CellStream we see the service providers as poised to move forward, with many already taking bold steps toward Voice over IP, Video over IP, Wireless, High Speed Ethernet Access (wireless and wireline). For many, this evolution seems daunting without a clear understanding of the technologies. For this reason CellStream consultants have been at the forefront of technology training and consulting for service providers, especially the flexible and talented Independent Telco teams.
As a proud associate member of OPASTCO, we offer a series of one-day seminars on IP technology:
- POTS to Pipes 1
- POTS to Pipes 2
- Building a Business Case for Voice/Video over IP
- POTS to Pipes for the Front Office
This series has already been well received with accolades. We also offer consulting services including network design, modeling, and support.

Course Description:
This one-day course focuses on the knowledge and understanding needed by the Customer Service and Marketing staff of the Independent Telephone company as the network services migrate from Plain Old Telephone Serve (POTS) to broadband and IP-based services (pipes). The course is jammed with information, experiences and learning. This course helps the "front office" personnel to understand the more competitive environment, helps to answer the question "why do I need services from the phone company", and supports the notion that by selling high bandwidth services, we are selling what the phone company provides.
All the subjects are presented in clear reference to the TDM and Voice switching world, contrasting and explaining the IP services approach, and the convergence of voice, video, and data to what most service providers have mastered already. This is the fastest and most dense way to come up the learning curve on the impact IP is having on Marketing and Customer Service. It is also filled with discussion of the challenges of these services and will be informative to technical and non-technical people alike.
