This course expands the previous examinations and reviews of telecommunications technologies, applications and services included in the Telecom I, II and III courses through strong focus on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies and applications. This course is designed to achieve its objectives through reviews and examinations of Wired Network Security, Wireless Network Security and Discussion of Emerging Telecommunications. Additionally, this course sets the stage for more specific and sharply focused studies on each of these major areas. Therefore, after completing this course, students will have the opportunity to increase and enhance their knowledge of any of these three areas through one of the Emerging Technologies Bachelor degree studies of Broadband, Wireless, or Voice over Packets.
Goals and Objectives
This course examines and analyzes the telecommunications industry through comprehensive coverage of security issues where emerging technologies are being developed and implemented. The student will learn the impact of network security on video, voice, and data networks within both the wireless and wired network solution.
