International Telecommunications
Education and Research Association (ITERA)
<< Mission Statement >>
Telecommunications involves the successful transport of voice, data,
image, and video information over a distance. The mission of ITERA
is the advancement of telecommunications science through excellence
in research and education. Telecommunications science draws from
multiple disciplines, including the management, technology and policy
aspects of telecommunications. ITERA will work towards the development
and advancement of telecommunications as an accredited academic
discipline.
Of particular interest to ITERA are telecommunications networks
of all kind, as it is through network infrastructure that all telecommunications
function is derived. Geographically, these networks span local,
metropolitan, regional, national, and global areas. The combination
of computers and telecommunications has collapsed the time and distance
factors that once separated nations, people and business organizations.
ITERA is committed to the study of telecommunications networking
which provides the technology and electronic pathways that makes
global communication possible.
ITERA endeavors to advance telecommunications science through the
creation of a forum for telecommunications and networking professionals,
educators, and researchers. This forum will encourage and support
the creation and maintenance of telecommunications interest groups,
conferences, proceedings and journals.
The clear lines and historic boundaries that once separated telecommunications
and information technology are disappearing. A natural convergence
of industries and information technologies are blurring any remaining
distinctions. To that end, all aspects of telecommunications research
and application are welcomed, including wired and wireless telephony,
cable television, the Internet, satellite communication and data
networks. ITERA is interested in encouraging and promoting discourse
between telecommunications service providers, vendors, regulators,
educators, and users.
ITERA welcomes membership and participation of individuals and organizations,
including institutions of higher learning, industry, and governmental
organizations.
