Fiber optics infrastructure and project management for sustainable smart city development
Koffi Pascal KPANGUI
This online instructor-led course was delivered by Digital Bridge Institute (DBI), with the support of the Global Gateway initiative of the European Union. It provides participants with comprehensive insights into the technical and project management aspects of fiber optics technology, emphasizing its role in supporting smart city initiatives that promote sustainability, efficiency, and innovation.
OBJECTIVES:
Demonstrate deep knowledge of smart cities, fiber optics technologies and their application in smart cities development
List and describe fiber optic components – switches, amplifiers, multiplexers, drivers, etc.
Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of fiber cables and associated link loss and power budget computation for smart city development.
Describe network design, mapping/planning and the deployment of optical fiber.
Explain elements and methodologies of fiber project management including project planning, scheduling and risk management for smart city infrastructure development.
