Optical Network Certification Program

Get a sneak preview of ONC 2.0 at Wednesday’s plenary session! ONC expands with training and certification focused on Packet Optical Services, GMPLS and much more! The ONC program is designed to provide industry professionals with the training and skills needed to design, implement, and manage optical networks based on the Nokia 1830 PSS and 1350 OMS. The first certification track in the program, which is available now, is the ONC – Architect which focuses on advanced-level topics in the areas of network design, management, and troubleshooting. Each course in the certification has a strong emphasis on hands-on lab training to ensure individuals gain implementation level skills and knowledge. The following ONC program activities will be available at the event:
ONC Written Exams	My Nokia Optical Lab
Hands-on Workshops	Seminars

Essential Skills for Planning and Designing a WDM Network Workshop Learn essential skills for planning and designing a WDM network based on the Nokia 1830 PSS. The hands-on workshop will be led by Nokia subject matter experts and will include practical hands-on exercises using the Nokia 1830 Engineering and Planning Tool (EPT). Here’s what you can expect:	SCHEDULE Tuesday, Sep 18 2:00 pm - 5:30 pm REGISTRATION Available through the online registration process.
An introduction to the optical network design process with focus on the design process for WDM networks Engineering parameters required for WDM design An overview of the network element architecture including shelf layouts, card types and channels Examples of network configurations, such as L0/L1 and GMPLS Through hands-on exercises using the Engineering and Planning Tool (EPT), you will understand the basics of how to: Translate network requirements into EPT inputs Work on a basic network configuration Configure simple NE requirements such as shelf layout Discuss some key network design issues such as protection/restoration, Raman amplification, and integration of WDM networks with other network types

Effective 1830 PSS Troubleshooting Tools and Techniques Workshop Experience the most effective tools and techniques for troubleshooting an 1830 PSS-based WDM network. The focus of the workshop:	SCHEDULE Tuesday, Sep 18 2:00 pm - 5:30 pm REGISTRATION Available through the online registration process.
Wavelength Tracker Performance Monitoring Data analysis and alarms correlation
This workshop provides a preview of what to expect from Nokia’s new 4-day Optical Diagnostics and Troubleshooting course (TOP00007) which is a component of our Optical Network Certification Program. The 4-day course also covers loopbacks, logs, FEC, payload encapsulation and other important topics. Both the workshop and the full course teach practical skills through real use cases and lab exercises.

Seminars
Leveraging the Features of GMPLS Routing Engine Seminar This seminar will present the value proposition of Nokia GMPLS Routing Engine (GMRE) in controlling optical transport networks. After introducing the key GMPLS features, the seminar will focus on the technologies and solutions supported by GMRE and will show some typical use cases. Protections such as SBR, GR and PRC are included, and fiber cut scenarios will also be discussed.	SCHEDULE Tuesday, Sep 18 9:00 am - 10:30 am or 11:00 am - 12:30 pm REGISTRATION Available through the online registration process.

Virtual Private LANs and Packet Optical Services Seminar 802.1q Virtual Private LANs are a key building block for many of Nokia's Packet Optical services on the 1830 PSS. This seminar presents the essential elements of this technology, and how it enables Layer 2 business services over optical networks.		SCHEDULE Tuesday, Sep 18 9:00 am - 10:30 am or 11:00 am - 12:30 pm REGISTRATION Available through the online registration process.

My Nokia Optical Lab

My Nokia Optical Lab is a service for anyone who needs access to a Nokia optical lab.

The service provides users with private, remote access to a hosted Nokia optical lab environment where users can practice and develop configuration, provisioning, and management skills.

There are three different types of labs available providing users with flexibility to choose a lab based on their training and testing needs. Labs are available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.
