Course 130 Voice over IP, SIP, Security, 5G and IoT is a two‑day vendor‑independent training course for non‑engineers covering VoIP and SIP, a comprehensive survey of security, 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Course 130 is the last two days of BOOT CAMP.
You’ll get up to speed on the fundamentals of Voice over IP, the components of VoIP phone systems and what each does. We’ll demystify VoIP by understanding how voice is packetized, how packets move end-to-end, how the voice is re-created at the far end… and what it sounds like with packets missing.
On Day 2 is a comprehensive survey of security risks and measures: phishing and extortion, network security, ports and packet filtering, firewalls, public key encryption, Internet VPNs and SD-WAN, passwords and fingerprints, digital certificates and HTTPS, Wi-Fi security, viruses, trojans, zero-day exploits and VoIP security… in plain English.
We’ll get you up to date on 5G and how it is being deployed on 700 MHz, 800 MHz and the new 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands, plus IoT and IoT applications.
Course 130 adds VoIP and SIP, Security, 5G and IoT on top of the core knowledge gained in Course 101.
Part 1: VoIP and SIP
We'll start with VoIP jargon and buzzwords, basics of communicating voice in IP packets, what the components of VoIP systems are and what each does: soft switches, media servers, gateways and terminals, plus the main standards and protocols used in VoIP systems. The last lesson is "where this is headed": what will people have as basic "telephone" service 20 years from now.
1. VoIP Systems, Components, Standards, Jargon and Buzzwords
2. VoIP for Individuals
3. VoIP Implementations for Businesses
4. SIP and Call Flow in the IP World
5. Voice Quality
6. VoIP Carrier Services
Part 2: Security
Telecommunications allows information transfer; but can also be a venue for malicious attacks. We'll update your knowledge and fill the gaps with a wide survey of all things security, risks and measures, beginning with phishing and extortion emails, then network security, firewalls and ports, and Public Key Encryption.
Understanding encryption leads to understanding Internet VPNs and SD-WANs, digital certificates, digital signatures and Wi-Fi security.
We complete this extensive section with viruses, trojans and exploits.
Part 3: 5G and IoT
The course wraps up with upcoming technologies, including 5G wireless and the Internet of Things: how everything from toasters to self-driving trucks to human brain implants will be online.
You'll learn about the next generation of wireless: 5G, where and how it will be used, at lower frequencies like 600 and 700 MHz, conventional frequencies around 2 GHz, and ultra-broadband millimeter wave at 30 GHz. We'll understand the design goals for 5G and review the New Radio spectrum allocations, and finish with the chip that is the enabler for the first wave of 5G smartphones.
The Internet of Things: we'll start off understanding exactly what IoT means, what the Things could be, and how they can communicate. We complete Course 130 and BOOT CAMP with examples of IoT, Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) and 5G applications like ultra-low-power tracking, optimizing traffic flow and parking in Smart Cities, metering and monitoring, and platooning cars into road trains on highways.

Demystify How Voice Moves in Packets
The best way to end buzzword and knowledge-gap frustration is to understand the fundamentals and build a solid vendor-independent knowledge base.
We'll start with a big-picture view, identifying the components of VoIP systems and what each does: VoIP phones, SIP, soft switches and gateways.
You'll learn all the steps involved in putting sound coming out of someone's mouth into IP packets, transporting the packets across the IP network, and reproducing the sound in someone's brain at the far end.
Then we'll put the theory into practice with a practical demonstration of Voice over IP over Wi-Fi in the classroom, to the Internet, to a cellphone in the classroom.
We'll trace the voice packets end to end through all of the devices, circuits and carriers involved, laptop to cellphone. Some people rate this part of the course the best!
Understanding how the packets move end-to-end gives you confidence and a solid knowledge base to build on; in the future, even if you're not familiar with the exact VoIP or SIP product someone is discussing, you'll still know what they are talking about.
VoIP for Businesses
After covering Internet VoIP for individuals, we'll compare and contrast all of the different configurations for business VoIP telephone systems.
We'll examine all of the different choices including premise softswitch, call manager, IP PBX vs. PBX replacement, hosted PBX, cloud services, SIP trunking, IP Centrex.
You'll also learn about Power over Ethernet for business phones and the recommended LAN configuration for VoIP.
Understand SIP Trunking and Carrier Connections
You'll learn what SIP trunking is, and how it replaces expensive PRI and PBX trunks with a lower-cost service that moves VoIP over an IP network between business locations, plus includes a gateway service for PSTN phone calls, saving money in two ways.
You'll learn how Session Border Controllers are used as the edge equipment to connect different VoIP networks, and all the functions the SBC does including SIP security.
We'll see how carrier networks connect via native VoIP. You'll also learn how the 1980s switched access tariffs for connecting a call between carriers using POPs and Tandem Access Trunks on channelized digital trunk carrier systems are still used in the US, Canada and many other countries… and why it will take time to evolve that to packets.
Learn About Voice Quality
Whether it is Skype or Skype for Business over the Internet, or a Cisco Call Manager and SIP trunking, call quality is of primary importance, particularly for the callers!
You'll gain useful knowledge of what affects VoIP quality and how problems can be corrected. You'll learn how voice quality is measured and factors that affect it including codec, delay, jitter and lost packets. We'll demystify how packets actually get delayed or "lost", and listen to the sound effects.
Get a Broad Survey of Security Risk Areas and Measures
Telecommunications allows information transfer; but can also be a venue for malicious attacks. We'll update your knowledge and fill the gaps with a wide survey of all things security, risks and measures, beginning with phishing and extortion emails, then network security, firewalls and ports, and Public Key Encryption.
Understanding encryption leads to understanding Internet VPNs and SD-WANs, digital certificates, digital signatures and Wi-Fi security.
We complete this extensive section with viruses, trojans and exploits.
Get Up to Speed on 5G
You'll get up to speed on the current state of 5G, and learn about its immediate benefit: 40% more efficient than LTE.
We'll understand the design goals for 5G and review the New Radio spectrum allocations: 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz and millimeter-wave bands, and discuss the pros and cons and typical applications of each.
We'll finish with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 chip that is the enabler for the first wave of 5G smartphones… and commands a royalty of 3.25% of the retail price of a phone.
Understand IoT: The Internet of Things
We'll start off understanding exactly what "Internet of Things" would mean, why an engineer would call it "Things Communicating Over the Internet", what the Things could be and how they communicate.
We finish with examples: Smart City traffic management systems, trackers and monitors, ultra low power applications, flush detection, temperature logging, platooning: road trains of cars on highways, virtual and augmented reality.
Gain Vendor-Independent Knowledge You Can Build On
The knowledge you gain taking this renowned training course is vendor-independent foundational knowledge in telecommunications, networks, IP, packets, fiber, wireless: fundamentals, technologies, standard practices, and how it all fits together.
You will be able to build on this proven knowledge base to quickly get up to speed for a particular project - then have the versatility to work on subsequent projects.
Not only will it eliminate buzzword frustration, the cost of this training will be repaid in improved accuracy and productivity gain many times over.
Teracom's proven instructor-led training courses have been developed and refined over many years providing training for organizations including AT&T, Verizon, Bell Canada, Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, Qualcomm, the CIA, NSA, IRS, FAA, US Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force and hundreds of others… and are totally updated for the 2020s.
