They use technology to solve problems and to make possible the development of remote communications, through the transfer of information from a transmitter to a receiver. This includes telephony, radio, television, the Internet, data transmission through computers, among others.
It is about telecommunications, a wide field that has yet to be explored, studied and that is booming due to the acceleration of business automation, which also increased in Ecuador with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Telecommunications Engineering, Intelligent Systems Engineering, as well as Superior Network and Telecommunications technologies are part of the career offers in the Telecommunications branch that higher education centers have in Ecuador.
And the learning and interest in these careers also stands out every May 17, when the planet commemorates World Telecommunications Day, a date that was born in 1969 to remember the founding of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), as well as the signing of the first International Telegraph Agreement, which came from 1865, according to the United Nations.

Telecommunications Technology Careers
Technology Superior in Networks and Telecommunicationswith 2.5 years of studies, and Technology Superior University in Network and Telecommunications Managementwith 3 years of preparation, are two of the most demanded careers in this branch in the Technological Spirit Santo (TES).
This higher education center in Guayaquil also has the career of Higher Technician in Internet of Things (IoT), an emerging and trending field in the technological world.
Who should opt for these technical and technological careers?
“Those who are interested in technology in general and, specifically, in the security of information, its transmission and storage, by physical and logical means, to work with integrated voice, data and image networks”, says Patricia Núñez Panta , MBA and Director of Innovation Careers.
Where can graduates in these technologies work?
In advanced mobile service operators, in Internet access provider companies, in companies and industries of various kinds, as well as in SMEs or micro-enterprises, adds Núñez.
When working with the telecommunications infrastructure, its field of action is any economic actor, any productive activity, since technology has penetrated all the tasks of society, which is now more than ever hyperconnected.

What differences are there between Higher Technology in Networks and Telecommunications and Higher University Technology in Network and Telecommunications Management?
- In higher university technology, one more semester of study is done, where students will see convergence in IT infrastructures, business continuity and new technologies for business intelligence, mentions the director of Innovation Careers of TES.
- Those who study or studied Higher Technology in Networks can homologate and equate subjects to also opt for higher university technology to expand and strengthen academic and professional training, and to also have the opportunity to carry out technical master’s degrees (with fourth-level titles).
From there, professionals in these careers can manage and create their projects to enhance communication, based on current network technologies, in accordance with advances and trends, to achieve sustained and productive growth in the place where they work. says Núñez.
Telecommunications Engineering in Ecuador
In the country, several universities offer the Telecommunications Engineering degree. Some have more than two decades graduating professionals in this area.
The Higher Polytechnic School of the Coast (espol) and the Santiago de Guayaquil Catholic University (UCSG) are two of the higher education centers that offer this degree.
“The graduate in Telecommunications Engineering from ESPOL is a proactive professional capable of adapting to the challenges of new technologies, because he has acquired knowledge of the technologies that make up the 5G ecosystem, as well as the involvement of telecommunications in Industry 4.0. , which is the beginning of 6G systems”, explains Félix Moncayo Rea, M. Sc., coordinator of the Telecommunications career of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FIEC-espol).

He adds that the students have been “trained in the domain of programming in embedded systems for IoT applications, implementation of sensor networks, networking and in communications defined by software”, in addition to the skills to work in multidisciplinary teams and to contribute innovative ideas that solve problems.
Those who choose this career, with four years of study at ESPOL, must have basic knowledge of physics, chemistry and mathematics, as well as a great interest in studying, experimenting and developing models based on technology.
The ESPOL Telecommunications career belongs to a select group of engineering programs in Latin America that is internationally certified by ABET.

The demand for this engineering at ESPOL is similar to the offer they make each semester and which is at least 30 places, although they can accept a larger number if necessary. Each semester between 25 and 32 new students enter to this race.
The ESPOL student applicant must follow the process established by the Senescyt, which begins on the dates published for the Transform Test. After that, she must apply for the degree and wait for the acceptance of her quota to enter the leveling course at ESPOL. More details at www.admision.espol.edu.ec or write to e-mail telecommunications@fiec.espol.edu.ec, who is from the race.
The Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil (UCSG) has had a degree in Telecommunications Engineering for 22 years, which currently has an average demand of ten new students.
Applications for semester B are from August to October of this year, while for semester A they are from January to May.
What is Web3 and how could it transform the internet?
There are more than eleven fields of action in the workplace for those who graduate in this engineering, such as cable and satellite television; radio and optical communications; fixed and wireless communications; the administration and management of the Telecommunications network; the design and installation of security networks and video surveillance cameras, among others.
At UCSG, the Telecommunications career is face-to-face and lasts for four years of study. The cost is starting at $357 per month.
Engineering in Intelligent Systems
It is characterized by the application of scientific and technological knowledge to solve problems; for the creation of computer systems to find innovative solutions to current and future problems in industrial, government and academic sectors, exposes the magister Erika Asencio, dean of the Faculty of Engineering of the Ecotec University.
“This career is aimed at those who like logical, mathematical reasoning; the leadership; the ethics in the responsibility that implies the management of information; interest in the phenomenon of information and the technological advancement of computer sciences”, comments Asencio.
This degree lasts eight semesters of study, in face-to-face mode. 43 subjects are seen in total. There is a differentiated pension (starting at $250), a scholarship. The values to pay will depend on the latter. Tuition is currently at $290.
Income in ordinary periods is in May and September, while extraordinary ones are in January and March.
How is it different from the Systems Engineering career?
The Systems Engineer specializes more in the field of programming, networking, implementation of hardware and its optimization.
Meanwhile, the Intelligent Systems Engineer You can be part of multi and interdisciplinary teams as a specialist in computer technologies. He also develops, directs, manages, maintains, and advises projects on intelligent computer systems, telecommunications, computer networks, and the Internet, explains the Dean of Engineering at Ecotec.
