Scope Of Telecom

What is Telecom Engineering?

A review:
When the term “telecommunication” strikes your ear drums, it sends a quick impulse and registers it as mere combination of two words ‘tele’ & ‘communication’. The word ‘Tele’ means ‘distant’ whereas the ‘communication’ gives the slight idea of two women gossiping & acknowledging each and every chatter not even spilling a little spice out! Telecommunication can be regarded as the transmission of information, over long distances.

Telecommunication engineering is the main branch of electronics that caters the study of hauling of information as words, sounds, or images, usually over great distances, in the form of electromagnetic signals, radio frequencies or optic signals.

Telecom a major branch of Electrical Engineering:
Electrical engineering deals with the technology of electricity, especially the application and design of equipment & circuitry for power generation and distribution, machine control, and communications.

Telecom is accounted a major branch of Electrical Engineering-that could very well mean “the design of components to further adorn the advancement of technology”. It is the art of using telephones lines or other media to transfer data.

Analysis of the degree:
It is a 4 years degree program of B.Sc. in Telecommunication Engineering. It is concerned with the theory, design, development and applications of computer networks and telecommunication systems.

It provides the objective for the provision of strong theoretical and practical background in hardware and software, along with the engineering analysis, design and implementation skills necessary to work between the two. The program involves study of complete telecommunication systems from design of its circuits to its operation. It further includes the detail study of radiating systems, dealing with wave guides, optical fibres, & radar communications, electromagnetic theories and their implementation on electrical machines, telecommunication transmissions & switching systems maps out the structure & design of GSM, DCS & CCS7.

It covers the various traits of computer architectures & microprocessor theories.

WHY TELECOM ENGINEERING?:
Late 80s brought the contagious wind of cellular phones & it’s growth took just two decades to get to exponential numbers. Today the Cell phone penetration has even surpassed the density of PSTNs. The Electronic Media scene here is also very fertile after when the shell cracked a few years ago. In this scenario there is a high demand of Telecommunication Specialists to monitor broadcast and network 24/7. This vigilant growth in these industries has created ample scope for people joining Telecommunication engineering. With respect to a high demand just within a short span of five years there has been quite a huge development in the industry.

SCOPE OF TELECOM ENGINEERING:
The Wi-max & 3G gave a shot in arm to the contemporary field but with the advent of 4G, opened a new door to non-ending scope of telecommunication. The international-private telecom companies have made their set-ups in & across the country providing you with tempting opportunities to polish your skills.

WHO SHOULD DO TELECOM:
Students interested in the know-how of soft & hardware designs, communication systems & learning in what & how it goes in and around the electronic gadgets & communication systems should give it a serious thought. Your mere interest in radars and radio antennas could be a positive sign for you being capable of getting in it.

What young aspirants should do?
An aspiring Telecommunication Technician should concentrate on Computer, Mathematics and Physics classes. Work part-time to learn the demands of the profession on-hand. You can always find someone who is doing the kind of work you are considering and ask them to tell you about their job. Few people like to talk about their jobs but you need to be prepared to sift through their comments and decide if they are answering your questions or just whining.
