Integrating SIP Communications

COURSE OUTLINE:

Description

In this course, you will learn about Session Initiation Protocols (SIPs) and important protocols related to SIP implementations through a process of lecture and hands-on training. Gain insights into what SIP is, how it works, and get a practical guide on how to use it. The lessons in this course are clear, very technical, and always practical. Since more than half are hands-on, you can investigate and reinforce each lesson. In this course, youï¿½ll examine how SIP interoperates into the current telecommunications network by going beyond the basics of the protocol and getting a big picture understanding of how it all fits together.
