With computers and technology, businesses are able to run more efficiently by creating network information systems. Because networks are configured in many ways, network systems and data communications analysts are needed to design, test, and evaluate systems such as local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), the Internet, intranets, and other data communications systems.

Network systems and data communications specialists perform network modeling, analysis, and planning. They also may research related products and make necessary hardware and software recommendations. Because of increases in technology, employment in this field is expected to increase much faster than average.* If you'd like to become a network specialist, TESST College of Technology could provide the training and education you need to realize your goals.
