Electrical Technology – Telecommunications
Why Telecommunications?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the telecommunications industry is at the forefront of the information age - delivering voice, data, graphics and video at ever increasing speeds and in an increasing number of ways. Whereas wireline telephone communications was once the primary service of the industry, wireless communication services, cable and satellite program distribution make up an increasing share of the industry today. The largest sector of the telecommunications industry continues to be comprised of wired telecommunications carriers. While voice used to be the main type of data transmitted over the wires, wired telecommunications service now includes the transmission of all types of graphic, video and electronic data.
