Hi all,
I’m currently doing BS in Telecommunication Engineering, with main emphasis on GSM, CDMA, WLL and WiMax. Students graduating from my department are getting jobs in maintenance and deployment of the networks which I just mentioned, and hopefully when I’ll graduate after 18 months, I’ll have command on these networks.

I’m not sure if all this is in high-demand in the world, especially in Middle East and Western countries, so I have decided to do some extra stuff before I graduate.

I have started studying CCNA and MCSA on my own, and I’m confused whether I should give the test or not, because if I choose yes, then it will cost me a lot of time and money, about which I’m not sure that whether it would help me in future or not, because primarily, I’ll be trained for GSM and fiber optics communication sort of stuff, I see no way that doing CCNA or other Cisco or Microsoft certifications could help me out to get a raise on my job, because I think that they both are irrelevant to each other

So my question is that do you think that doing these certifications would help my telecom path? Are companies looking for people who have graduated as a Telecom Engineer, can do, manage and maintain Fiber optics, WLL, GSM and WiMax, and they can also configue their WLAN or MAN, and create accounts for their employees to log-in their computers?? smile.gif

If you don’t think that its a good option to choose for a Telecom Engineer then please suggest if you have anything else in mind, any certification, course or anything.

Please do reply even if you know a little. Also if you know something about avg.salary in this field in West then please do share.

I was thinking about getting mobile broadband (sprint) but I heard that it is limited to basic internet usage such as E-mail and web browsing.

so does this mean I can’t watch videos on youtube, visit graphics intensive sites, or play hardcore online games.

basically, is mobile broadband the same as a ground connection (Cable/DSL)? ground connections are not limited by the aforementioned.

At my house I usually have 2 bars of signal with my Verizon Wireless UM150 USB Modem. When I play halo 3 I normally have 4 yellow bars. Its very playable. I want to know if anyone else does the same thing as me. If they usually get green bars in halo 3 what mobile broadband device are you using and how many bars of signal do you get.

I am getting ready to purchase a cell phone plan on the east coast.
Verizon has a plan for phones like the Blackberry Curve that require a data pack and claim to get unlimited mobile broadband while other plans have unlimited mobile web for phones like the LG Dare.
Please explain the difference between the two.
I am a confused consumer right now.

Laura T asked:


I want to know if it is possible to use a Verizon USB mobile broadband card and a wireless router to connect more than one computer to the internet. We have a desktop with Windows Vista, a laptop with Windows XP, a PS3 and a Nintendo WII that we would like to have all connect to the internet. Please advise.
