What do 3g engineers need?

With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, 3G is getting closer and closer to us. As a new thing, its development can not be separated from the vigorous promotion of talents. 3G talents are also of special significance to the 3G industry featuring diversified services. So how should IT employees, especially those in the communication industry, improve themselves and join the "torrent" of 3G?

What is a 3G engineer?

3G is the third generation communication network. At present, only GSM and CDMA networks are not supported in China. GSM devices use frequency division multiple access, while CDMA uses code division spread spectrum technology. Advanced power and voice activation can provide at least three times the capacity of GSM network. The industry regards CDMA technology as the mainstream technology of 3G, and ITU has determined three wireless interface standards, namely CDMA2000, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA. In other words, CDMA in China can smoothly transition to 3G network. The main feature of 3G is that it can provide mobile broadband multimedia services, including 144kbit/s in high-speed mobile environment, 384kbit/s in walking and slow mobile environment, and 2Mbit/s in indoor environment.

3G engineers are engineers engaged in 3G communication technology industry.

What talent is the most lacking in 3G?

At present, there are less than 10,000 domestic 3G core talents, which are basically mastered by several major operators and equipment vendors. The talents for embedded development urgently needed by mobile phone manufacturers, talents for mobile commerce solutions in short supply by software developers, and talents for value-added services needed by mass content developers and providers (SP/CP) in the 3G era are basically nowhere to be found. With the large-scale laying and operation of 3G networks of major telecom operators and the popularization of 3G mobile phones, the demand for talents will increase exponentially in the future, and 3G software talents will become a "hot commodity" in the talent market. According to the market survey of Zhaopin, the annual salary of mature engineers in the 2.5G environment is about 654.38+10,000 yuan, and their potential will be further tapped after the transition to 3G in the future. Han Qingfeng, deputy general manager of Beijing Zhilian Cai Yi Human Resources Consulting Co., Ltd. predicts that the annual salary of 3G talents is at least between 1.5 and 200,000 yuan, which is very attractive compared with other IT industries. Due to the shortage of 3G talents in the market, the first batch of 3G talents will have very strong market competitiveness.

What qualities do 3G engineers need?

Because 3G technology has very high requirements for senior mobile phone software and hardware development engineers, in general enterprises, 3G engineers must have bachelor degree or above in communication and electronics, be familiar with mobile communication principles and microwave communication technology, be proficient in C or C++ language programming, have rich experience in digital circuit design or hardware development, or have experience in mobile phone software and hardware development such as CDMA, GSM or TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, etc. Judging from the requirements of 3G for talents' quality, it seems that it is difficult for fresh graduates trained by colleges and universities to meet the requirements of the market. In fact, service companies related to the 3G industry are more inclined to recruit employees from the communication industry. However, this does not mean that college students will not have the opportunity to enter 3G. Through the solid foundation laid by academic education, supplemented by vocational training, college students can still find their place in the fiercely competitive 3G workplace.

What major should I study if I want to be a 3G engineer?

3G engineers refer to engineers engaged in 3G communication technology industry, and 3G engineers need to hold relevant certificates.

Job Description: 3G engineers include 3G wireless software development engineers, 3G wireless R&D quality engineers and 3G wireless network planning and optimization engineers.

Prospect forecast: Industry experts pointed out that after 3G standard in communication industry is put into operation, 800,000 to 6,543.8+0,000 new jobs will be created for China every year. People who know both the Internet and telecommunications technology will become the new favorite of enterprises.

The Information Center of the Ministry of Education and Motorola jointly set up the "Wireless Communication Network Engineer" training program (MCNE Campus), which includes the second-generation GSM and CDMA network courses, the third-generation UMTS, CDMA 1X network courses, and advanced network courses such as TCP/IP basic knowledge, network management and network optimization to provide professional skills training for college students who are interested in working in the wireless communication field. In September this year, the Ministry of Information Industry launched 3G professional qualification certification and training in the national communications industry.

Training suggestion

At present, institutions engaged in 3G talent training in the market can be said to be rare. The well-known one is Motorola Institute of Engineering, and its training system mainly revolves around MCNE (Motorola Registered Network Engineer) series courses.

Course Name: Motorola MCNE Series Courses

Training objectives: 3G network engineer and value-added service engineer.

Suitable for the crowd: college students and IT practitioners who want to change careers.

Course introduction: MCNE series courses include four aspects: MCNE-AE (assistant engineer): new entrants and career changers facing the communication industry, professional and technical personnel and groups who need to quickly supplement and master the latest communication technology system knowledge; MCNE-AD (Application Development Engineer): a professional who can plan, design and develop various value-added services on the existing and future 3G mobile communication networks; MCNE-SE (System Engineer): training engineers and project managers who are based on wireless access network and core network technology and can see through the cooperative work and operation of various network elements in the network; MCNE-PE (professional engineer): to train expert engineers who are proficient in mobile communication network technology, products and solutions.

The four courses of MCNE basically cover all aspects of mobile communication technology.

3G has a very bright application prospect. For young people who are interested in 3G industry, they should seize the opportunity, improve themselves and meet the challenges with development.

In the eyes of ordinary people, 3G personnel must be senior engineers who are proficient in professional knowledge, so the threshold of professional training is also very high. That was not the case. Those who are engaged in 3G-related systems and equipment, value-added services, operations, research and development, sales, engineering and other fields are collectively referred to as 3G talents. Among them, except for professional technicians and managers engaged in R&D and design, the entry barriers in other fields are not high.

According to experts' specific analysis, the first stage of 3G is mainly to establish a system, which has a great demand for experienced engineers and marketers. The professional threshold of technicians is higher. 3G engineers must have bachelor degree or above in communication and electronics, be familiar with C or C++ programming methods, be familiar with mobile communication principles and microwave communication technology, have more than 4 years working experience in digital circuit design or hardware development, and have CDMA,

Experience in mobile phone software and hardware development such as GSM or TD-SCDMA, WCDMA. Therefore, for professionals engaged in 3G R&D technology, attending 3G training is a supplementary course to supplement 3G knowledge based on the original wireless communication technology (2G or 2.5G).

Compared with technicians, the entry threshold for marketers is lower, and the general requirement is to know 3G products and have strong communication and marketing skills. This kind of personnel participate in 3G training mainly for understanding product knowledge and grasping market dynamics. At present, 3G talents in the market are mainly divided into three categories: equipment developers, operators and value-added service talents. From the current situation of the industry, 3G talents are mainly concentrated in the R&D field, and enterprises have sufficient talent reserves in this field, but 3G marketers are in short supply. Because the rise and fall of 3G industry is ultimately decided by consumers, 3G will eventually be introduced to the market, and it is very important for marketers to promote the industry.

In addition, although the threshold of 3G training is not as high as the outside world said, it does not mean that there is no threshold. It is better to have a professional knowledge background in electronic communication, 3-5 years of industry experience, and preferably about one year of 3G development experience. For a layman without any professional background, it will be more difficult to learn from scratch.
