Teleinformation Networks Profile
and
Teleinformation Systems and Networks Specialization

The department prepares for a creative engineering work and participation in research and development work in area of teleinformation systems and networks. The subjects of knowledge and skills are related to telecommunications and similar areas concerned with service providing for information society. The studies prepare the graduate to synthetically view the problems concerned with designing and realization of infrastructure for multimedia services in current and next generation teleinformation networks.

The students obtain knowledge about global information infrastructure, especially architecture and functions of multiservice teleinformation networks and their nodes, technologies of optical systems for information transport, algorithms of processing digital signals transferring information, systems of data transmission, methods of protection information from natural and purposeful disturbances, methods for guaranteeing protection of transferred and stored information from unauthorized access, methods of creation reliable structures of teleinformation networks, concepts and systems of circuit, packet and cell switching particularly taking into consideration the IP technology.

The graduate of Teleinformation Networks specialization has practical knowledge in solving problems, with consideration of telecommunication services market which regulates cost and quality of service. The graduate obtain that knowledge during lectures related to resource and performance optimisation problems. This knowledge includes traffic engineering, communication and signalling concepts, as well as methodology of operation and management.

Student of Teleinformation Networks specialization obtain knowledge and acquire practical abilities to design networks with guaranteed quality of service, to design teleinformation services and to manage teleinformation projects due to participations in laboratories, accomplishments of projects and preparation of masters thesis.

The programme of specialization takes into consideration demands of service and information providers, telecommunication operators of stationary and mobile networks, planning offices, and companies producing telecommunication and teleinformation equipment. Therefore the graduate of that specialization is prepared to conduct works connected with development, operation and management of teleinformation systems considering the progress of technology, equipment, software and the introduction of new services.

Knowledge, skills, tools

Student of that specialization obtain knowledge connected with:

  • telecommunication and teleinformation services, systems, networks and equipment for global information infrastructure;
  • functional and structural concept of teleinformation network, rules of communication, network control and management;
  • communication protocols; student is prepared to analyse, design, implement, test and simulate protocols of different layers used in public or separated (company, corporate) computer network;
  • properties and capabilities of transmission channels (line and wireless) creating a reliable physical structure of present and future information transmission network; techniques of non-redundant and redundant information coding, techniques of cryptographic transmission protection and techniques of digital transmission and signal processing in telecommunication network channels;
  • techniques of providing indispensable quality of catalogue services in terms of technology, telemedia and teleinformation convergence;
  • general subjects regarding creation of analytical models and methods of solutions searching, methods of analysis and synthesis, design methods, methods of conducting and analysing results of experiments and measurements, methods to verify state of solutions and directions of changes and demands,

acquires skills in:

  • analysis and synthesis,
  • designing, programming,
  • conducting research,
  • prognosis and assessment actual and future demands,
  • management, team work,

familiarises with tools for:

  • designing, creating and testing software,
  • modelling and computer simulation,
  • computer measurement,
  • specification requirements,
  • running platform systems,
  • computer support,

Our graduates and employment

In the information age communication and function of exchanging information is present in many, diverse areas of social-economic activities as well as in every day life. Currently, it creates very large and constantly increasing demand for teleinformation networks and systems specialists. The graduates of Teleinformation Systems specialisation have knowledge and skills, which allow them to belong to that group of specialists who are employed by organisations directly participating in the process of providing information services. Among them are operators of systems and telecommunication networks for stationary and mobile subscribers, telecommunication service providers, research and development centres, companies designing and producing hardware and software for telecommunication and computer networks. An important group of employers using that technologies are operators of corporate, banking, office, housing and hotel networks. Moreover an efficient and appropriate function of the state requires application of teleinformation technologies in state administration and local government offices, army, police, border guard, health service. These institutions and offices also offer employment for our graduates. The workplaces for graduates are also located in design offices, service and advisory firms, companies designing and programming services or customer applications. The graduates of the Teleinformation Network Department are employed in companies co-operating or functioning in area of telecommunication such as companies producing information systems, designing or producing special-purpose integrated circuits

At present time, when information and telecommunication technologies are global and the borders do not exist for them, the graduates of Teleinformation Systems specialization acquire knowledge and skills which allow them to find employment not only in Europe, but also worldwide.

Exemplary workplaces of specialisation graduates: Alcatel Lucent, Nokia Siemens, Datera, DGT, Netia, Orange, Plus, T-Mobile, ComArch, Intel, Sprint, ADVA, VoiceWorks, CTM, PIT, Milcom, PLL Lot, National Institute of Telecommunications, Town Councils (Gdańsk, Gdynia and others), GuMed. Our graduates are also scientific workers and even professors of many high schools, including foreign universities.
