In-person and on-line

The (Euro)DOCSIS technology is the leading technology for broadband IP access in cable networks. The (Euro)DOCSIS cable networks are also the basis for all next generation packet-based services like VoIP, video conferencing and other high-speed multimedia services.

The Level 1 training comprehensively covers all aspects of the (Euro)DOCSIS technology up to DOCSIS 4.0. Hereby the fundamentals of the architecture, the cable modem’s provisioning process, security issues and their solutions, quality of service, management and much more are explained. This being an excellent starting point for people new to the real technical subjects and protocol level within (Euro)DOCSIS.

Achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ideas behind the (Euro)DOCSIS specifications up to DOCSIS 3.1

Understand the most important key issues and advantages when using (Euro)DOCSIS in your cable network

Benefit from the hands-on experience of the Excentis EuroDOCSIS certification testing

After attending this course, the attendee will be capable of understanding the (Euro)DOCSIS reference model and concepts

Everyone in the All Access Networks industry

Prerequisites: Some experience with RF and IP, basic electronics knowledge
