Duration: 5 Days
Avoid design disasters by exploring the breadth of technical issues involved in designing modern Unified Communications (UC) networks. Once you apply a consistent set of analytical tools, best practices, and design methodology to the complex set of requirements and problems involved in these systems, the full potential for a stable, scalable, and feature-rich UC system can be realized.
