Recommendations

Digital Communications and Wireless Technologies is a two-year program that prepares students for careers in the data and wireless/radio frequency (RF) telecommunications industries. Digital communications is the transfer and reception of data in the form of a digital bitstream or a digitized analog signal transmitted over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel. Examples of such channels are copper wires, optical fibers, wireless communication using radio spectrum, storage media and computer buses. Graduates of the program are employed as technicians and technical specialists in companies that provide the services, infrastructure and technologies that support these different channels of telecommunication.
