This series specification describes the Telecommunications System Analyst and Manager classes used in the Department of General Services telecommunications program and those State departments which operate radio/microwave and land wire telecommunications systems. The series provides for four levels of analytical and management responsibilities required by departments to ensure efficient use and operation of their administration of a department's telecommunications network.
