The Skinny Research and Development Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Fundamentals class is designed to teach students about VoIP enterprise systems from the ground up. From the infrastructure that supports a VoIP system to the servers providing each instrument service, this class aims to convey an understanding of the entire system end to end.
Starting with the basics of networking and infrastructure, students will establish a foundation in VoIP telephony. By the end of class students will be able to build, administer, and troubleshoot their own custom VoIP communications system built from commercially available equipment and open source software.
This class is extremely hands-on in nature. In every module on every day students will participate in demonstrations, activities, and labs to reinforce learning objectives. In addition, students will walk away with a range of equipment, projects, and software to ensure they can make their own VoIP laboratory test system.
Students will be given the following equipment to implement their own VoIP networks and practice course objectives long after class has finished.

- Raspberry Pi Kit
