Angus-Hamer Networking is a member of BICSI.
BICSI, a not-for-profit telecommunications association, is a worldwide resource for
technical publications, training, conferences, and registration programs for low-voltage
cabling distribution design and installation. BICSI has over 20,000 members residing in 85
nations.
BICSI was formed in the early 1970's by a group of people who worked for the Bell
operating companies. Each Bell company had a department which they called their
"Building Industry Consulting Service", a service to the building industry by the
phone company which designed telecommunication wiring systems for new and existing commercial
properties.
At the time, it seemed natural to call the newly formed association BICSI, or Building
Industry Consulting Services, International.
As the industry changed and deregulation broke up the Bell system, the term Building
Industry Consulting Services was not widely recognized as having anything to do with
telecommunications wiring...
In the early 1990's, BICSI decided to drop the "Building Industry Consulting Services,
International" and simply refer to themselves as "BICSI: A Telecommunications
Association".
Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD): The title RCDD is awarded to BICSI
members who have demonstrated a high level of expertise in integrating the needs of the
telecommunications and building industries. This inter-industry liaison function
distinguishes the RCDD from others involved in telecommunications.
Before incorporating telecommunications into the construction plans for a property, a
communications distribution designer must possess an essential awareness of the prospective
clients' needs and wants. The designer must carefully consider voice, data, video
communications, and electrical power into, out of and within the property.
Deryle Rowe is our RCCD Specialist.
