Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr B. McHugh.
Networking is at the heart of the digital transformation. The network is essential to many business functions today, including business critical data and operations, cybersecurity, and so much more. A wide variety of career paths rely on the network -- so it's important to understand what the network can do, how it operates, and how to protect it.
Nearly every object can now be connected to the Internet. The ability to connect things and capture useful data is transforming organizations in every industry and opening doors for new career specializations. This course provides hands-on activities to model securely connecting sensors to cloud services over IP networks and collecting data in an end-to-end IoT (Internet of Things) system.
You'll Learn These Core Skills:
- Plan and install a home or small business network using wireless technology, then connect it to the Internet.
