Come and experience a truly technician level, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) class in Huntsville, AL. This 5 day course will give students the skills needed to program VoIP devices, customize VoIP servers, and analyze VoIP packet traffic. By the end of the class students will be able to build and troubleshoot their own custom VoIP communications system built from commercially available equipment and open source software. Some technologies covered will included mobile softphones, Virtualbox, Power-Over-Ethernet, Raspberry Pi, FreePBX, and network taps.
WARNING: This class is extremely hands on! If you dislike soldering, cabling, multimeters, participatory demos, digging through network packets, programming hardware and software, challenges, friendly competitions, and wrestling with new technology, please, for your own mental well-being and ours, stay away. However, if you’re among the few who enjoy a fun, challenging course, then this class for you.
In addition, if you decide to come, be sure to leave a little extra room in your luggage. At the end of class students will take home enough hardware and software tools to nearly make their own VoIP training network. Students can expect to walk away with a Raspberry Pi, top quality headphones, a passive network tap, cabling, plenty of software, and a few other helpful tools depending on how adept you are at the aforementioned friendly competitions.
