Nex-G Innovations

The Software Defined Optical Networking (SDON) training program provides a comprehensive understanding of next-generation programmable optical transport networks by integrating Software Defined Networking (SDN) with DWDM, OTN, ROADM, and WSON technologies.

The course covers SDON architecture, centralized control, optical network virtualization, network slicing, service orchestration, automation, open networking standards, NETCONF, YANG, OpenConfig, telemetry, and AI-driven network optimization.

Through practical demonstrations, real-world carrier use cases, and hands-on labs, participants will learn how to design, deploy, automate, monitor, and optimize intelligent optical networks that support 5G transport, cloud infrastructure, hyperscale data centers, and Data Center Interconnect (DCI).

Upon completion, participants will possess the technical expertise required to implement scalable, resilient, and programmable optical transport networks while preparing for the Certified Software Defined Optical Networking Professional (CSDONP) certification.
