Telecommunications products and services generally become commoditized over time as multiple firms acquire the know-how to supply similar, competing products, and such competition has benefits in terms of lower prices for goods and services. To maintain leadership—or even a strong position—in telecommunications in the face of pressures from lower costs overseas for labor and other essentials thus requires that U.S. firms constantly focus on achieving high-value innovation as a…

The modern telecommunications infrastructure—made possible by research performed over the last several decades—is an essential element of the U.S. economy and society. But the U.S. position as a leader in telecommunications technology is now at risk because of the recent decline in domestic support for long-term, fundamental telecommunications research. To help understand this challenge, the National Science Foundation (NSF) asked the National Research Council to assess the current state of…

Some of the largest institutions are now leveraging telecommunications to deliver long-distance or remote education. This is extremely cost-effective for students, allowing them to conserve money that would otherwise be spent on housing and travel. Third-party billing refers to a type of billing in which an intermediary or other party handles invoicing between a customer and supplier.

Telecommunications industries change rapidly with the advancement of technology, so the language used to…

The telecommunication degree, whether undergraduate or graduate, inspires students to:

Comprehend and analyze the historical, cultural, political, and economic contexts that influence electronic media

Learn about key social science research methods involved in electronically mediated communication processes

Effectively communicate ideas in oral, written, and visual contexts

Apply production, performance, and writing techniques that are integral to effective media…

The lower frequency wireless spectrum is made up of low- and midband frequencies. Low-band frequencies operate at around 600 to 700 megahertz (MHz), while midband frequencies operate at around 2.5 to 3.5 GHz. This is compared to high-band MM wave signals, which operate at approximately 24 to 39 GHz.

MM wave signals can be easily blocked by objects such as trees, walls and buildings -- meaning that, much of the time, MM waves can only cover about a city block within direct line of…

Business analysts work with management to reduce costs, eliminate, or reduce inefficiencies, and boost the company’s competitiveness in the modern business world. They use their analytical skills to understand and apply data-focused strategies best suited to increase a company’s bottom line.

Business Analyst Career Path: Business analyst has to perform various roles and responsibilities. From being experienced communicator in examining data and even treating technical and project…

The idea of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) has been around for a while, but surprisingly has seldom been applied to networking. Juniper Networks (where I hang my hat) and other networking vendors like Apstra have made some efforts over the years to move folks in this direction, but there is still a lot of work to do. For example, Juniper has had virtual form factors of most series of hardware systems, projects like Junosphere for network modeling in the cloud (many of us now use Ravello), and…

telecommunication engineers the highest salaries.

The work of telecommunications engineers range from creating basic circuit designs to deploying wireless networks. They are responsible for designing and overseeing the installation of telecommunications equipment and facilities, such as complex electronic switching systems, copper wire telephone facilities, fiber optics cabling or internet protocol data systems.

Some of the main areas of focus for telecommunications engineers are…

Chemical plant and system operators, sometimes called process technicians or operations technicians,operate machines that process chemicals and make sure that they are functioning correctly. Process technicians usually work in factories. This is an entry-level position, and most employers don't require process technicians to have formal education beyond a high school diploma.

Salary by Industry Sector

Over a third of all process technicians worked in basic chemical manufacturing as…

Train your workforce adequately for the transition

The platform needs some getting-used-to before it can be deployed effectively. Make sure your engineers are given appropriate training by the vendor to acclimatize them to the platform. Even the most powerful tool can yield abysmal results when not used properly.

Conduct regular audits to enforce security and policy compliance

It’s natural for devices to gradually veer off the track with changes and updates to the network…

Common certifications asked for by employers are Cisco Certified Network Associate and Cisco Certified Network Professional. Depending on the technologies used within the organisation Sun Solaris certifications for instance may be required for administrating Solaris Servers. Other examples are Microsoft Certified System Administrator or MCSA for those managing Microsoft server technologies or Red Hat RHCT for those using Linux technologies.

To perform certain necessary tasks the…

5G is the fifth generation of cellular technology. It is designed to increase speed, reduce latency, and improve flexibility of wireless services. 5G technology has a theoretical peak speed of 20 Gbps, while the peak speed of 4G is only 1 Gbps.5G also promises lower latency, which can improve the performance of business applications as well as other digital experiences (such as online gaming, videoconferencing, and self-driving cars).

While earlier generations of cellular technology…
