SBE Introduces Broadcast Networking Technologist Certification

By John Poray, CAE
Executive Director, Society of Broadcast Engineers

SBE has rolled out a new certification program designed to respond to the convergence of the broadcast and information technology fields.

Applications are now being accepted to take an exam to become a SBE Certified Broadcast Network Technologist. Terry Baun, CPBE, SBE National Certification Chairman, explains that the new certification level will delve into networks as much as possible without becoming specific to any vendor. Topics covered by the exams will include the basics of broadcast local area network installation, recognizing what a hub is, knowing what the different wire categories do and understanding the basic layers of network protocol common to all systems.

For more information about this new SBE Certification program, see the March issue of the SBE SIGNAL, contact Chapter 36 Certification Chairman Oscar Medina at KNSD, 858-279-3939 or contact Linda Godby-Emerick at the SBE National Office, (317) 253-1640 or lgodby@sbe.org .
