What is a "telecommunications specialist" in the private sector of the NAVY?
Asked by fjeepers2
In the job description it says: "Performs tasks concerned with the analyses and evaluation of the telecommunications functional, technical and operational requirements and problems. Provides administration of a Nortel Meridian 1 Option 11C PBX and Call Pilot voice mail systems. Utilizes knowledge of and experience with Tandberg VTC systems. Utilizes knowledge of Avaya S8710 Private Branch Exchange (PBX)/Telephone Communications system and an Intuity Audix voice mail system. Receives formal and on-the-job training." ...but I'm having trouble figuring out what those systems are. I have 12 years of telecommunications/radio experience, but not sure if they are talking about the same thing!! Please help!

Best Answer:
The are phone systems. They are looking for someone who can program them.. Tandberg is a video conferencing system. Intuity is an Avaya voicemail system. It would be hard and a lot of work to pick up all these systems from scratch. Most companies only use one (Avaya/Nortel/Cisco) Combining two opens a whole different can of worms... Do you know VOiP (Voice over IP) Avaya and Nortel can work together, but use different protocols.

Telecommunications specialists coordinate the installation of computer-assisted engineering programs for schematic cabling projects; modeling programs for cellular and satellite systems; and programs for telephone options, such as voice mail, e-mail, and call waiting.systems and may provide follow-up maintenance and training.
