Good afternoon Networking=20 Professionals.

&nbs= p; = ; =20 Northland Systems, the world leader in non-vendor specific = MPLS, Fiber=20 Optic, Gigabit Ethernet, and IP training, is pleased to = announce that our much anticipated, highly successful, 2 = day MPLS=20 Technologies course is scheduled to run again in Ottawa, Canada = on March 21st and 22nd. I was wondering if = you could=20 forward this onto your colleagues and clients to see if they would be = interested=20 in attending.

&nbs= p; = ; =20 The cost to attend this course is $1100.00 CDN per student (plus = applicable=20 taxes). Taught onsite at such industry leaders as = Alcatel, 360=20 Networks, Telus, AT&T and Marconi Communications, the=20 student will leave with a thorough and comprehensive understanding = of this=20 leading-edge networking technology. The class is limited to = 20=20 students, and we are expecting this session to sell out extremely = quickly, so=20 time is of the essence if you plan on registering either yourself and/or = your=20 colleagues on this course.

**PLEASE NOTE THAT AS A SPECIAL OFFER, = ANYONE=20 SIGNING UP MORE THAN ONE ATTENDEE ON THIS COURSE WITH ME AT A TIME WILL = RECEIVE=20 A COMPLIMENTARY NORTHLAND DENIM SHIRT FOR THEMSELVES AS WELL AS THEIR=20 COLLEAGUE(S)!!!**

As an added value, all attendees will receive 30 days free = access=20 to the Northland Online "MPLS Technology" eLearning course upon = completion of=20 this session!

=20 &= nbsp; =20 This course introduces the = challenge of the=20 next generation networks and describes how MPLS addresses it at both a = high and=20 low level. Participants are expected to have a strong understanding = and=20 experience in WANs, LANs, data communications, routing, internetworking, = and=20 communications protocols.

This course will:

Explain the MPLS concepts, architecture & components.=20
Provide an in-depth view of MPLS.=20
Provide a thorough understanding across all areas of the = technology.=20
Describe how MPLS relates to different evolving network=20 technologies.

Please review the detailed course = outline below for=20 more information on the content being covered.

To find out more about how to bring this = or any=20 other 2 day course in-house to a group at your facility, or to register, = please=20 call me directly at 613-667-5063.

Have a great day!
