Hardware & Networking

WHAT IS HARDWARE AND NETWORKING ?

Hardware and Networking is a vast field in India. It is refers to the process of supplying data and information by linking the group of networks using hardware’s such as switches, hubs, gateways, access points, network interface cards, networking cables. To be more specific, hardware networking includes all peripherals, computers, interface cards and other tools required for communications and data processing in the network. 

         Computer hardware professionals take care of the maintenance of computer hardware, while networking involves connecting a group of 2 or more computer systems for sharing data and information. The professionals engaged in R&D of computer hardware and networks are known as hardware and networking engineers. Besides looking after computer maintenance they are also liable for supervising and designing the hardware installation and manufacturing process. The increasing use of computer, laptops and internets has expanded the scope of hardware and networking sector widely.

Scope of hardware and networking courses in India

The recent surveys reveal that the hardware and electronics sector is expected to expand above $60billion in India. The wide recognition of software industry in India dominates the hardware sector. But the situation is likely to change in the near future. The number of hardware and networking jobs is expected to grow extensively in India.

Presently, the hardware job market is saturated. There is a huge gap between the demand and supply of hardware pass outs. For this reason students are opting to start their ventures for assembling and hardware maintenance.

Future of Hardware & Networking

           This is the best field for a person who loves to experiment with computers and wants to know how different parts of the computers are inter-linked.The study of networking includes the study of computer science that would allow the computers to exchange information or data.

           There is a huge demand for hardware and networking jobs and all these courses can be applied for after getting a 10 + 2 or diploma degree courses. A career in this field depends on how one can adopt himself with new technology and products that are launched on daily basis.
