Unit of Competency ICTTEN503 - Design an electronic system for a telecommunications network
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, and confirm specifications and compatibility for additional telecommunications network equipment.It applies to individuals working as field officers, technicians or technical supervisors for carriers, contractors or other service providers who assess the need for additional equipment, including voice over internet protocol (VoIP), biometric identification, radio frequency identification (RFID) and security system equipment.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications networks engineering field of work and include access to:

telecommunications network where additional equipment design may be conducted

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts electronic system design.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
