The networking and communications industry is now commonly referred to as the “fourth utility” along with water, gas and electricity. This simple statement highlights the importance of the networking and communications industry in our daily lives, where today can you go and not find some sort of communications medium. ![]() All new buildings and construction projects have a network installed, this includes many of our homes. We all know the extent of the new building projects but just imagine the impact that environmental monitoring is going to have on the networking industry. All equipment is controlled via networks and therefore will be another major contributor to the industries growth and long term future. The industry is growing faster now than at anytime in its history, recruitment in the sector is up again by 9.4% on the last quarter, with over 5200 vacancies still unoccupied and this number is set to grow as major projects such as the Olympics begin to recruit. The Olympics itself will generate thousands of permanent jobs as the games’ networking and security infrastructure is being billed as the most technically advanced project of its kind worldwide. We currently have 4.4 million CCTV cameras in the UK, these cameras and the associated copper and fibre cable will all be replaced with new Network IP (Internet Protocol) cameras and it is predicted that another 10 million cameras will be installed throughout the UK, in public places such as airports, stations, shopping centres and schools. Then of course there all the commercial businesses who can now install security systems simply onto their existing computer networks. Whether you are talking about Computer Networks, Telephone Systems, Mobile Systems, CCTV Systems, Alarm Systems, Access Control Systems or home networking they all have one thing in common – the cabling infrastructure, even wireless networking requires this as its backbone. To understand the size of todays communications industry you only need to look at a recent survey by Gartner that stated ICT Industry accounted for 2% of global CO2 emmissions, this is the same as the aviation industry. The industry is now reacting and implementing new more efficient systems, this again drives more work within the industry. We offer the most comprehensive communications training courses in the uk with industry strength qualifications and accreditation. |
