Why MapYourTech
Where Industry Experience
Meets Learning
We're not just another training platform. We're optical engineers who've deployed networks at scale, and we're sharing what actually works in the field.
Built by Engineers, For Engineers
18+ years ago, we saw a gap between academic theory and real-world optical networking. So we started creating the content we wished existed when we were starting out.
Real Industry Experience
Every piece of content comes from engineers who've actually deployed networks. We've planned capacity, troubleshot failures, and optimized performance in production networks. This isn't academic theory—it's what works in the field.
Updated Weekly Since 2011
Technology doesn't wait, and neither do we. When ITU-T releases new specs, when vendors announce capabilities, when standards evolve—we update. You're learning 400G/800G/1.6T as it's being deployed, not reading about 100G from 2015.
Everything You Need in One Place
We're not just articles or just courses. You get searchable articles, structured courses with certificates, interactive calculators, books written from experience, simulators, and tools. Everything you need to excel in optical networking.
What Makes MapYourTech Different
