The Service Provider Curriculum Page

Evolving the Service Provider networks is crucial to the evolution to next generation networking.  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.

We offer a series of one-day seminars on technology.  This series has already been well received with accolades.  We also offer consulting services including network design, modeling, and support.

 

Curriculum for Service Providers

We suggest taking the courses below. 

CSI-SP002 Building a Business Case for Voice/Video Over IP

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.

Cost: To be announced

CSI-SP001 Fundamentals of IP for SP Managers/Engineers/Marketing

Description: Attended by hundreds of students already, this one-day course is jammed with information and learning.  Also seen under the "POTS to Pipes" Seminar series sponsored by Pannaway and Coppercom , this course focuses on the basics of data communications, the OSI model, IP Addressing and subnetting, TCP and UDP operation and impact, Quality of Service, IP Services (VoIP, Video, etc), and an implementation overview.  All these subjects are presented in 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.  For the more technically inclined, we offer a 2.5 day version of this course with hands on skills - click here for that info.  Some service providers will have this one-day seminar for management and then conduct the 2.5 day hands on version for their technical staff.
