SP7710 - CommScope Security Design and Engineering

Online Self Paced Training:

This course will focus on security and access control (referred to as SAC) systems, technology, standards, architectures and methodologies. You will also receive instruction on applying the principles of network infrastructure design to security projects using products manufactured or endorsed by CommScope. This is an entry level course and no pre-requisite is required although having a structured cabling design background is an advantage.

The course covers Security and Access Control (SAC), The Convergence of IT and Security Infrastructures, Network Trends and Cabling, Analog and Digital Video Using Coax, Network (IP) Video, Network Video Surveillance Design and Considerations, Infrastructure Architecture and Design, SAC using Structured Cabling and Power over Ethernet (PoE). (See Full Course Description).

You will learn about:

• CommScope introduction for those new to the company and its solutions
• Overview of Security and Access controls including Security Categories, standards, Access Controls, Surveillance/CCTV, Biometrics, Intrusion Detection and Alarms
