Network Transport Specialist (NTS)
Rapid growth and technological advancements have created high demand for those able to demonstrate knowledge in network transport systems design. Many BICSI data distribution design courses serve as a career path for those pursuing excellence in network transport system design. Several of these courses are recommended for candidates preparing to take the NTS Specialist examination.NTS Specialist candidates are tested on their ability to understand and apply a comprehensive collection of network-specific information. After you have acquired your NTS Specialist designation, you will be able to:
- Successfully integrate the components of network and cabling technologies to maximize or optimize performance.
- Properly evaluate existing and proposed designs for premises and campus networking.
- Discuss both cabling and networking issues with network users, administrators, consultants, architects and electrical engineers.
- Make recommendations based on current and future network requirements.
- Produce incremental "phase-in" upgrade designs to accommodate increases in network traffic.
- A minimum of two years of approved and verifiable design experience in network transport systems. Generic ITS/distribution system design or experience in another area of specialization is not acceptable.
- Successfully completed the ITS Fundamentals examination or hold a current RCDD.
