About Course
Course Overview
Implementing modern networking technologies in industrial environments is crucial for enabling smart automation, facilitating real-time data-driven decision-making, and enhancing operational efficiency and flexibility.
This intermediate-level course is designed for learners with basic networking knowledge and expands the skills needed to implement and manage networking in industrial settings. You’ll start by understanding the requirements of modern industrial architectures, including smart technologies and data analytics. Interactive modules cover essential networking components such as devices, media types, and common protocols used in Operational Technologies (OT). Analyze real-world scenarios to see how these elements connect and support Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) and Smart Grid Networks.
Finally, put your newfound skills to the test with 22 activities in Cisco Packet Tracer, like building a simple, simulated Industrial Automation Control Systems (IACS) network using Cisco devices, configuring a substation network, and creating a LAN (Local Area Network). Get started today and gain the job-ready skills you need to kickstart a career in OT!
