Growth of Telecom Field Engineers in Telecom Industry.
1. What does a telecommunications engineer do?
Engineering in Telecommunications is a race that is responsible for transmitting, receiving and processing information through signals that will be propagated through different transmission media, which can be optical, electrical or electromagnetic. Based on that, the Telecom Field Engineer has to act in different ways on the signal. There are two lines of work well defined, one is the part that is known as telecommunications electronics and the second is called telecommunications systems.
2. What impact does this work have today?
Let’s see it this way, I think it’s the key. For some time now, we all have a cell phone. First, we could communicate by transmitting the voice and then it became possible to send text messages or SMS. Then, the network grew and went on to include data service as well. It started out as GPRS until today’s 4G LTE and 5G technology is already being implemented in some parts of the world. Little by little, this data network becomes a convergent network, since all the services are there. The conclusion is that little by little all this is going to migrate towards that. It will depend on us reaching more and more higher transmission speeds.
3. What is the difference between telecommunications engineering and systems engineering?
Systems Engineering is going to worry a bit more about the part that is information technology. That is, we are talking about the Telecommunications Engineer acting mostly taking into account the hardware issue and the ability to take information process it, send it and receive it at another point. The Systems Engineer, in fact, is much more on the terminal side. That is, it focuses much more on the user. For this there are mechanisms for which a programming language is used that helps to create services, applications, different methods of approaching the user. So, if we look at it as a whole process since you have an application and that information reaches a server and then reaches a person, the actions of a Systems Engineer would be more in the software part of that system.
