The latest mobile phones are also capable of some superb capabilities, for instance, aside from calling and sending messages, nowadays we also use our cell phones to capture pictures and videos, as well as to record and play music. Due to the advancement in technology of most cell phones crimes can also be committed using nowadays using cell phones.

A telecommunication expert is a person who can help you when you are faced with legal cases that is related to the use of cell phone such as telecommunication engineering and telecommunication services.

A Review Of Telecommunications Expert Witnesses

Telecommunications Expert Witness

Telecommunication is the emission of information through major distances in order to establish a proper communication. In the past, telecommunications were simple beacon signals or smoke signals and similar. At present, through the use of electricity, telecommunications have advanced. Some of the clearest examples are the telephone, television, fiber optics and even satellites communicating through very high frequencies.

In the early years of the twentieth century we experienced a revolution in wireless communications, such as radio, television and telegraph, among other examples. This was the beginning of telecommunications in an entirely different manner than it was in the past. Now, telecommunications were more detailed, more interactive and could convey messages in a more efficient and clear manner.

A Telecommunications Expert Witness is likely to be a telecommunications engineer. This specialist is an individual who studied electronic engineering and has dedicated almost exclusively to telecommunications. The knowledge of this professional varies from designing or even building a circuit up to strategic mass developments. A telecommunications engineer will have extensive understanding in the design of equipment and facilities. Often these engineers work for a company in order to provide, generally, a solution to a problem at a low cost for the company. When this individual has studied a major in electronic engineering and specialized in telecommunications and perhaps even has studies on broadcasting engineering, these qualifications can be presented at court, along with extensive field experience in order to apply for the judge’s approval to become a Telecommunications Expert Witness in a specific trial.

The purpose of this witness is to provide specific and clear information in telecommunications matters. Given that over time telecommunications have grown and changed (in the past they involved almost exclusively radio, telephone and television, and nowadays also internet, mobile communications, etc.), the nature of trials in telecommunications has changed as well. One common situation at court would be the breach in telecom laws, or the failure to provide a service (causing certain damage to the contractor).

Therefore, the telecommunications expert is needed to provide a testimony that applies specifically to the matter discussed… this implies knowledge of the applicable laws and technical information. By doing the proper research and gathering all necessary information and performing interviews with the involved people, the expert will have enough data to formulate an opinion and a testimony. This is to be conveyed to the court in order to educate the jury, thus, it shall be clear and easily explained to achieve this goal. Telecommunications Expert Witness
