Structured according to the layout of the handbook, this video tutorial provides an in-depth view into the ITU-T Recommendations shaping the world’s optical transport networks. The tutors are leading experts in the field and have either played a role in writing the handbook or in developing the standards detailed within.

This insider’s guide to the handbook is a must for engineers, technicians, technologists, mid-level management and regulators interested in the implementation of optical-fibre-based systems. Viewers will familiarize themselves with the ITU-T Recommendations on optical transport networks, as well as how to design and implement projects using state-of-the-art technologies, how to evaluate power budgets and how to approach the technical and administrative aspects of supply contracts.
