Beginning with the 2009 BICSI Winter Conference in Orlando, Jan. 18-22, BICSI will begin a year of celebration highlighting the major impact the Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) program has had on the information transport systems (ITS) industry.

Some of the very first RCDDs, who are still active BICSI members, will join in the events to reflect on the past and share their experiences. In addition, newly credentialed RCDDs will offer their insight on the industry as it continues to evolve and advance in this technological age.

The RCDD program is a designation for individuals who demonstrate expertise in the design, integration and implementation of ITS—voice, data, video, audio and other low-voltage control—and their related infrastructure components. An RCDD must meet stringent continuing education requirements and continually increase his or her knowledge through frequent interaction with others in the ITS community.

Today, more than 7,000 credentialed individuals around the globe are uniquely positioned to create the detailed design of new systems and/or the integration of a design into an existing system. The credential is achieved by passing a comprehensive exam based on BICSI's Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual (TDMM).
