Telecommunications courses in signal transmission, data communication, networking, and other areas all require comprehensive hands-on experiments or communication simulation labs. The labs and the ability to perform telecommunications experiments are not readily available to the student in distance learning. This paper introduces industry-available software that can be used to create virtual lab experiments for distance learning. Software simulation methods can be adapted to create virtual lab experiments, and practical experiments in telecommunications based on the simulation software are introduced. This paper also identifies the need for further research and development of software tools suitable for telecommunications experiments for distance learning.

Keywords: telecommunications, networking, experiments, virtual laboratory, distance learning
