Modern telecommunications is undergoing very rapid and radical changes emerging not only from the technological progress, but also from the needs of the information society. Information becomes consumer good, which has an essential impact on the direction and rate of material and cultural changes in globalising world. Therefore, telecommunication and ipso facto everyone who is involved or who plans to act in that area of technology has to face up difficult and complicated challenges. Considering as a starting point current state of enforced telecommunications techniques and technologies and regarding the aim which has been set for telecommunications in the information technology era, main tasks for the telecommunications emerge from the necessity of providing various services open to individual needs of information access and secure transfer. Due to additional restrictions related to the diversity in quality of service guarantees and the demonopolisation of telecommunication services market, which lead to decreased costs and consequently to their widespread, realization of that tasks is a challenge appropriate for the information era.
That challenge has been undertaken by the Department of Teleinformation Network, which has been involved in
scientific and didactic activities
since the beginning of the Faculty, at which, according to its primary name Communication Faculty, development of various telecommunication network was performed and constantly improved due to time passage. The Department conduct didactical activities for the whole Faculty, particularly for the Electronics and Telecommunications course together with certification of students in Teleinformation Networks specialisation. Students of that specialisation are prepared to perform creative engineering work and to participate in research and development work in the area of teleinformation networks and systems. The ranges of knowledge and skills regard telecommunications and related domains connected with providing services for information society. Studies at that specialisation prepare graduates to synthetically view the problems of design and implementation of the infrastructure for multimedia services in current and next generation teleinformation networks.
