What is Telecom Engineering?
ÂTelecom Civil Engineering ð€“ a specialized and an essential domain
As mentioned earlier, telecom engineering depends a lot on things beyond electronics. There are structures, on site as well as off site which are needed to house and mount telecom equipment. There is great deal of accuracy in construction needed for equipments like Waveguides and Satellite Antennas, which calls for highly specialized skills in Civil engineering.
Engineering Streams within the telecommunication Industry
It is worthwhile to understand the way in which various faculties of engineering work together to make long distance communication a breeze for all. Here are some of the important ones:
Equipment Engineering: Telecom equipment engineers are experts in designing electronic circuits that include transmitters, receivers, stage amplifiers, repeaters and many such critical electronic building blocks of the telecom network.
Network Design Engineers: Once the basic building blocks are available, it is the job of the network engineers to chalk out the best possible way to provide superior telecom coverage to the area of service. Their role is to optimize the size of the network, and therefore, its contribution to the project cost, with the quality of service that would be delivered through the network.
Telecom Civil engineering: This stream of telecom engineering plays a critical role, since it involves bringing the entire blueprint of the telecom company into the real world. Telecom civil engineering involves understanding the nuances of construction as well as telecommunication. There is a great deal of project management that goes in ensuring that the network and each of its elements is constructed within its stipulated time frames.

Telecom Civil engineering ð€“ Turnkey project management
Bringing up a telecom network involves simultaneous cross-country construction activity. The task is too tedious in terms of detail as well as scale, for a telecom services company to handle by itself.
That is when the role of a turnkey telecom civil engineering firm, like Mer Telecom, is deployed by telecom services firm. A construction partner like this takes care of complete construction activity that includes helping acquire good sites, doing a complete geo-survey of the site, and finally bringing up the whole network across boundaries of states, and even countries.
The reputation of a telecom services provider depends a great deal on the quality of service provided. This quality as we find, is a direct function of various engineering elements, including Telecom Civil Engineering.
