[PS] Access Networks

Main objectives of the course:

After completing the course the student will be able to understand the main principles of technology used in access networks and also will know the basic features of each technology. Based on the knowledge the student will be able to decide which technology to use in practice in a particular practical application and also be able to identify potential bottlenecks in implementation. The student will be able to solve routine technical problems arising in the operation of the access network.

85 - 92 % –B (Very good)
77 - 84 % - C (Good)
69 - 76 % - D (Satisfactory)
61 - 68 % - E (Sufficient)
0 - 60 % - FX (Insufficient)
To enroll for an exam student must have 30 points.
