Target participants at the workshop include network engineers and systems administrators who understand how to design and build IPv4 networks in the African telecoms industry including the academics. Resource persons for this workshop are international experts coming from outside Nigeria
The workshop is expected to provide impetus for Nigerian network operators to migrate from IPV4 to IPV6 with its attendant advantages; provide qualitative training for those engineers that managed our networks which would help, as we tackle the problem of quality of service in the telecommunication industry; provide Nigerian network engineers with the required knowledge to compete favourably with their counterpart in the global market; enhance, as well as upgrade, the performance of our Network Engineers on network management with the ultimate goal of ensuring the sustainable growth of the Nigerian telecom industry; as well as boost the productivity level of our network engineers.
The organisers have encouraged ATCON member-companies to take advantage of the course and nominate their network engineers would go to the link provided to register for this very valuable workshop.
