ProNET ONE
Details
Internet speeds of 1Gig and above are becoming the norm. TV Content is delivered OTT and calls are jumping between Cellular and Wi-Fi. By 2030 it is predicted that home internet speeds will reach 50Gbit/s. All of this means we need to rethink how we design and deploy networks.
ProNET Design and Configure is the perfect course for network newbies and integrators looking to refresh their knowledge in network design and includes step-by-step hands-on practicals in setting up and configuring fast, robust end-to-end networks.
