Course Description

The Eclipse™ product family is a highly modular and scalable platform that delivers a unique combination of high-capacity hybrid or all-packet transport, Carrier Ethernet/IP networking, and comprehensive mission-critical microwave features, enabling operators to prepare for the all-IP future.

The Eclipse Installation, Operation, and Maintenance course teaches students key functions of the Eclipse platform. The course includes an overview of all available equipment, basic configuration with the Portal craft tool, system commissioning, maintenance, diagnostics, and troubleshooting. Extensive hands-on labs (nearly 50% of the course duration) offer students scenarios they will face in real deployments in their networks.

Courses are conducted by AVIAT expert trainers in a mentoring environment backed by their deep
technology expertise and experience in the implementation of microwave wireless and IP networks.

The Eclipse Installation, Operation, and Maintenance course is conducted at the Aviat Training locations or can be arranged at customer sites.
