MegaFon Opens Network Technology Lab at University
The lab will give students at the Volga Region State University of Telecommunications and Informatics hands-on training.
Telecom operator MegaFon has opened a high-tech laboratory at the Department of Communication Systems and Networks of the Volga Region State University of Telecommunications and Informatics (PSUTI) in Samara. The facility is primarily intended to train highly skilled engineers who will work on critical infrastructure sites. Its integrated hardware and software system can replicate the architecture of enterprise and telecom operator networks and test their performance under different configurations.
The new equipment can be used to simulate even the most challenging scenarios, including emergencies and failures that can occur in real-world operations. This will allow future specialists to develop skills in quickly switching to backup communication channels and carefully monitoring network equipment.
