No pre-requisites established.

A basic knowledge is recommended about communication networks architecture and TCP/IP protocol stack, as well as attending simultaneously the course on 'Network Management and Operations' during the same term.

Telematics is one of the professional branches of the telecommunications engineer.

This course set strong foundations and is also complemented with the courses on 'Network Management and Operations', and 'Integration of Networks, Services and Applications'.
