Nex-G Innovations

The objective of the FTTx OSP (Outside Plant) Training is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the design, deployment, and maintenance of outside plant infrastructure for fiber optic networks. The training covers key concepts such as route planning, fiber installation techniques, splicing, and testing methods. Participants will learn industry best practices for managing OSP projects, including trenching, pole mounting, and aerial cabling, while ensuring network reliability and scalability. This program is designed for telecom engineers, network planners, and field technicians looking to develop expertise in deploying and maintaining robust FTTx OSP networks.
