Telecommunications includes a broad range of technology including telephone and cable, data communications, wireless communications systems, satellite and internet technology. Global markets, electronic commerce, and the internet have served as a catalyst for the worldwide demand for telecommunications products and services which is currently valued at more than US$1 trillion per year.
Success in this environment requires competent problem solving skills in combination with a strong technical foundation. Accompanying these changes is a multitude of career opportunities for aspiring telecommunications and networking professionals. College graduates who have been formally educated in the discipline of telecommunications and networking are currently in high demand and the long term career opportunities are boundless in potential.
Why Telecom Technology?
Telecom technology has been one of the focus areas right from its inception. It includes developing and maintaining telecom middleware solutions such as Push-To-Talk (PTT), Net Dispatch Messenger, Application Server Test Tool Framework and development for SIP and CDMA, applications for mobile phones and PDAs.
Telecom technology also involves the expertise to handle testing assignments, both onsite and offsite. Projects involving sub-system testing for CDMA infrastructure, testing and certification of GSM, GPRS, CDMA and 3G-based mobile handset for global market, system and usability testing of different features of mobile handsets, developing and maintaining test cases, testing the accessories of mobile handsets, and string validation in various languages are a few examples to cite. Technology emerging under the umbrella of Telecom technology are in the areas of sanity/ smoke testing, functional (features) and usability (feature interaction) testing, stress testing, regression testing, acceptance testing and creative testing.
Telecom technology’s latest direction is its belief in testing a product from the user's perspective and lays emphasis upon creative testing wherein engineers are encouraged to think beyond the test cases so as to track hidden bugs in the device.
