Troubleshooting Voice over Internet Protocol
Six Cities Planned February – May 2007
• Boston, MA• Denver, CO• Chicago, IL• Tampa/St. Pete, FL• Charlotte, NC• San Jose, CA
Troubleshooting Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) was developed in partnership with ARRIS, Cedar Point Communications, JDSU and Sunrise Telecom
Troubleshooting Voice over Internet Protocol
• Description:• The Troubleshooting Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
seminar is designed to introduce participants to the practical aspects of troubleshooting IP voice service as delivered over a broadband HFC network at both the IP Layer and the DOCSIS layer. The goal of the Troubleshooting Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) workshop is to reinforce participants' existing knowledge of VoIP and develop new knowledge and skills relating to the isolation and resolution of real-world VoIP technical problems.
• Audience: Technical operations managers, plant managers, technical supervisors, project managers, senior technicians and engineers who have responsibility for operating and maintaining VoIP systems

InfoScope
InfoScope™ is a searchable database of white papers presented at various SCTE events.
Certification ProgramSCTE certifications enable you, as an individual, to demonstrate proficiency of technical knowledge that is relevant to your career. Our certifications also serve to provide employers with an industry-recognized benchmark for technical expertise that may be incorporated into the hiring, promotion and other human resource management processes.
SCTE/JONESNCTI
We try not to duplicate what the MSO are doing! In this arena we are the certifying partner unless requested by the MSO or its agents to be the actual trainer. SCTE customizes certification programs under contract with MSO’S to meet MSO certifying requirements.
