Molex employees receive BICSI`s RCDD qualification

Johannesburg, 05 Jan 2001

Two Molex Premise Networks employees, based at its European Headquarters, Fareham have been awarded with the internationally acclaimed RCDD accreditation from BICSI, a global telecommunications association.

Rob Cardigan, Technical Manager and Simon Barnard, Technical Services Manager, join the 80 telecommunications professionals in Europe, and 5,200 worldwide, who have achieved the RCDD qualification - Registered Communications Distribution Designer. Despite the number of companies with RCDD badge holders in the industry still being fairly rare, more and more companies are showing preference for structured cabling designs to be overseen by people who are RCDD qualified.

Both Rob and Simon are heavily involved in all technical issues at Molex Premise Networks and received Molex`s full support throughout the duration of their training.

"It is our intention for technically-based employees who offer technical advice, support and consultancy to customers, to be RCDD qualified. When submitting installation designs, this accreditation will add two important things; firstly it has global recognition in the marketplace and is internationally respected. Secondly, it will greatly assist us in reassuring customers and end users of our expert capabilities" said Peter Narey, Managing Director, Molex Premise Networks.

RCDD is a qualification for individuals who have shown extensive expertise in the design, integration and implementation of telecommunications systems and components.
