Description
Telecommunication Engineering is considered the backbone of every industry as it includes installation and maintenance of multiple types of network systems like optical fibers for Wi-Fi, basic telephone connections, and microwave transmission systems. This course provides a thorough understanding of modern and future communication systems and offers the opportunity to develop relevant practical and theoretical knowledge necessary to be at the forefront of the rapidly evolving telecommunications sector where the demand for telecom engineers is very high. Specific fields covered are types of telecommunication networks associated with LANs, MANs, WANs and the internet; wireless, mobile and satellite communications; features of generations of wireless network (IG – 5G), radio and microwaves used in communication; different bands in communication; components of optical fiber communication; telecom network planning and design; and telecom codes and standards. This is the ideal course for engineers new to telecommunication engineering projects, regulatory staff that needs an overview to evaluate project options and vendors and contractors that support utilities as they build new telecommunications. This course will also provide attendees with the knowledge of the governing codes
Objective
The objective is to give professionals an overview of the communication industry which is at the heart of the construction of ‘smart’ buildings, automated highways, and rapid transit systems. Communications are essential in air traffic control, in distributed banking and retail sales. In the aerospace industry every modern airplane relies on an internal communications network. Satellite systems are dependent on communications. In the broadcasting industry, the distribution of high-definition television and the introduction of multi-media systems will require new and better communications. Communication Engineers will be in demand in all areas where remote sensing and remote control occur. The course is designed for professionals who are responsible for planning, coordinating, and overseeing group efforts that translate operational need into technology solution, and whose tools and skills determine whether a system will meet cost, schedule, and performance goals.
Who Should Attend
The course is intended to bring together many topics encompassed in the field of telecommunication engineering. It is designed primarily for professionals to have the opportunity to study wire, radio, and optical fiber transmission systems as well as the design, synthesis of voice data and image networks. Telecommunications engineering is a combination of electrical engineering and computer science. It provides a thorough understanding of modern and future communication systems. This course offers the opportunity to develop relevant skills necessary to be at the forefront of the ever-expanding and highly sought-after Telecommunications sector emerging with fresh technologies. No previous communication industry experience is required.
It is designed for professional engineers and professionals who already have communication engineering responsibilities or who want to grow into this role. The program’s challenging courses emphasize on an ongoing technical change such as the wireless computer networks that link two or more devices using LAN, WAN, MAN and PAN, the generation of wireless network 1G – 5G, and component of microwaves and optical fibers used in communication. The course covers analysis, design, integration, production, and telecom network planning and design.
