Strategic OSP Design and Deployment: Building Robust Telecom and Fibre Networks
Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive foundation in **Outside Plant (OSP) design and deployment**, enabling participants to master the planning, design, and implementation of robust fibre optic networks. With a strong focus on **Passive Optical Networks (PON)**, FTTx solutions, and both underground and overhead distribution methods, the programme equips learners with the skills needed to address real-world telecom challenges.
Participants will gain practical insights into **industry standards, construction methods, and testing procedures**, ensuring they can confidently deliver high-quality external fibre networks that meet global performance benchmarks.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
* Understand the role of OSP design in modern telecom and fibre networks.
* Apply best practices for underground and overhead fibre pathway planning.
* Implement and comply with industry standards, safety regulations, and codes.
* Design and deploy **Passive Optical Networks (GPON, EPON, GEPON)**.
* Perform Tier 1 and Tier 2 testing, including advanced PON test methodologies.
* Plan, manage, and troubleshoot FTTx solutions (FTTN, FTTC, FTTB, FTTA, FTTH).
* Integrate robust strategies for building scalable and reliable fibre networks.
