Additionally, Level 3 training also provides troubleshooting techniques for advanced problem solving in the field.
- Optimizing Your Dante Network: This course provides hands-on training to intermediate and advanced educated integrators. In this course, integrators will cover networking fundamentals, IP addressing techniques, optimizing network resilience, tips for integrating audio networks with IT infrastructure, broadcast vs. multicast, and best practices for networking security.
