Network Technology Laboratory

The laboratory is designed for teaching microprocessor and communication technology with a focus on modern communication technologies and the use of computer networks in electrical engineering. The laboratory is designed as 12 separate workplaces (24 places) equipped with network stations and a wide range of connectivity. The specificity of the laboratory is an open communication space and the placement of workplaces in the form of two round tables. This layout contributes to a stronger interaction between students and the teacher.

Each workplace has development tools based on ARM Cortex M4 and ARM Cortex A-53 processors. Network stations are equipped with Windows / Linux OS. Processor systems from STM, Olimex and Espressif are mainly used for teaching. In addition, popular Raspberry and Arduino (AVR) devices are sometimes used. Students have at their disposal measuring and power supply technology. The laboratory enables teaching and demonstration of the implementation of the entire spectrum of modern communication techniques,  with a focus on practical implementation in the processors of control devices.

The laboratory demonstrates the following transmission technologies: Wifi 802.11abgn in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, Bluetooth 2.1, Bluetooth Low Energy, BT 5.1, ESP-NOW, LAN technology, metallic IEEE802.2ab and many others. Students have at their disposal an extensive group of development kits with modern multi-core 32b processors.
For the simulation of large network infrastructures and the teaching of LAN technologies, the laboratory is equipped primarily with state-of-the-art CISCO technologies arranged in four mobile 19" racks.

The laboratory also provides training in computer networks and management of operating systems for industry.
