Telecom for Non-Technical Government Professionals

Course Overview

Telecom networks form the backbone of digital government, public safety, economic growth, and national security. Government officials frequently make decisions related to policy, licensing, spectrum, funding, procurement, compliance, and public programs, yet many do not come from a technical background. This course demystifies telecom by explaining key concepts in simple, practical, and policy-relevant terms. Participants will gain the confidence to understand telecom terminology, ask the right questions, interpret reports, engage with technical teams and vendors, and make informed decisions—without needing engineering knowledge.
