Keep the Digital Data Flowing

The world's network revolution started with the telegraph and early telephone systems and has accelerated exponentially in reach, capability, and sophistication ever since. Today we live in a world of networks that carry our voices, video, and data traffic across town or across the globe in seconds. The Internet (the world's largest network), “big data,” cell phones, telephones, streaming video, and much more all rely on skilled workers to establish and maintain technology that keeps the digital data flowing. Without networks, business and personal life as we know it would grind to a halt.

If you're intrigued by how networks function, DMACC can help you find a career in data communications. You'll learn how to establish, repair, and maintain a wide variety of telecommunications and data networks.
