Telecom Training Center

Introduction to Digital Transmission

Telephone service has been one of the primary methods of communication in the last half of the Twentieth Century. When computers began to send data, they passed in through the telephone network by converting it into analog signals. Technology has now shown it is easier to create a network of digital transmission and convert the voice signals to move them. In essence, the telephone companies have become digital companies. This video training program consists of almost 2 hours of video on 2 tapes and a student manual and will get you started in the digital revolution.
