Nex-G Innovations

The objective of the FTTx Technology, Network Planning & Design Using QGIS training is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to design, plan, and implement Fiber to the x (FTTx) networks using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools like QGIS. This course covers the fundamentals of FTTx technologies, network architectures, and deployment strategies, while providing hands-on experience with QGIS for network mapping, spatial data analysis, and route optimization. By the end of the training, participants will be able to efficiently plan and design scalable FTTx networks that meet the demands of modern broadband infrastructure development.
