Overview of the Levels
The courses available in Sync U are organized into four levels, much like the four years of a traditional undergraduate engineering
degree. (For a more specific listing of the courses offered at each level, please click on the course level buttons on the left).

The first level consists of four Sync 100 courses. Sync 101 to Sync 104
address the essential drivers of a synchronous network and the fundamental
mechanisms and techniques that are invoked to understand, design, and
operate a synchronous network.
Level 200 courses, Sync 201 to Sync 206, discuss in some detail the "building blocks" of principles and practices that are
available for the designer to draw upon when constructing a specific synchronization distribution system to meet the needs
of his/her telecom network. The material in these courses consists of expanded discussions of some of the topics introduced
in Sync 100 courses, and the formal requirements defined by the various standards-setting bodies. The requirements are specifications
for the equipment used in synchronization distribution, and the performance levels to be used as benchmarks for characterizing
a real network.
Level 300 courses begin with Sync 301 which introduces a generic procedure for analyzing the needs of a synchronization
distribution network, then in subsequent courses shows examples of several different network types. Other courses address
many of the various network scenarios that are met in today's deregulated telecom environment, from traditional wide-area
public voice-based networks to private packet-based enterprise networks. Finally, Sync 305 expands on the management aspects of
synchronization distribution.
Level 400, referred to as Advanced Topics, has courses that are more forward-looking than the first three levels,
and also some interesting examples from the telecom industry that illustrate some of the unexpected complexities
in the real-world that challenge the synchronization distribution designer.
