Telecommunications

A telecommunications network is an array of facilities that provide custom routing and services for a large number of users so they may distribute or exchange information simultaneously.

Telecommunications services can become congested during periods of peak demand, so some potential communication is delayed or, worse, refused service. Managing this congestion is essential to business success. Knowledge of protocols is of paramount importance.

SCC’s program gives you the background to work in the world of computer networks, telephones, facsimile, radio, television, and electronic mail.
