On March 9th, 2023, the company WATER s.r.o. organized a training session in partnership with OPTOKON, a leading provider of fiber optic communication solutions. The event covered a range of topics related to fiber optics, including an introduction to fiber optics, passive network elements, fiber optic cables, FOTAS, DC Vysočina, termination and routing of fiber optic cables, splicing in fiber optic networks, measurement in fiber optic networks, calibration laboratory, and an introduction to active devices such as transceivers and PON networks.
At the end of the day, participants received certificates of attendance and evaluation forms. The event was a great success, and participants left with valuable knowledge and practical experience in fiber optic communication technology.
