Course Description
Communication technologies have transformed significantly over the years, and this course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of these advances and how they are revolutionizing industry and everyday life. In this course we will first explore the history of inter-connectivity, tracing the evolution of communication from the early wired networks to the wireless solutions of today. By the end of this course, you will have a solid grasp of the foundational concepts necessary to understand the technical aspects of advanced communication, along with an understanding of its important role in an increasingly interconnected world. Let’s make a start, and work to build that strong foundation of knowledge and understanding of advanced communication technologies.
