Wireless Telecommunications

Your Career

In a typical North American city, at least 45 per cent of municipal employees, including police, fire, public works, parks and inspections departments, are mobile. But they need to access information when out of the office, so cities throughout Canada and the United States have been rapidly adopting next-generation technologies that enhance wireless connectivity. Graduates of this program are able to gain employment in jobs that involve wireless systems. They are well-versed in radio frequency measurement and troubleshooting, wide-area networking and an array of wireless systems.

Graduates have found employment at cell phone service providers, equipment manufacturers, in-house IT departments, sales departments and specialized telecommunication and networking companies.

There are numerous opportunities in the planning, developing, manufacturing, co-ordinating, implementing, maintaining, and managing of telecommunications systems.
