RCDD/BICSI DESIGN: THE LEADING ADVANTAGE
Media Design Group is a team of Technical Consultants for acoustics, sound, video, voice, data, security
design and consulting. Our voice and data designs are designed by our RCDD/BICSI certified designer.
Advantages of a system designed by an RCDD
What is an RCDD Designer? RCDD is an acronym for Registered Communications Distribution Designer
is a designation for individuals who demonstrate expertise in the design, integration and
implementation of telecommunications (voice, data, video, audio and other low voltage control)
transport systems and their related infrastructure components.
RCDD is a designation globally recognized within the telecommunications industry. An RCDD is
responsible for the detailed design of new systems and/or the integration of an innovative design into
an existing system.
The RCDD designation was established by
telecommunications professionals to
document and standardize the base of
knowledge and requirements a
communications designer is to provide. This
designation is the standard measurement
used to identify design experts. Every RCDD
professional has successfully completed and
passed an extensive exam on the
requirements for communications
distribution design. A continuing education
agenda requires all active RCDDs to
participate as a prerequisite to meet all
current specifications.
Active RCDDs have continuous access to the
latest information in the communications design industry. Changes, updates and revisions in
telecommunications industry standards are known to render programs, projects and objectives
obsolete. Armed with this knowledge, our RCDD will minimize these impacts.
What does Media Design Group and RCDD Certification bring to your project?
RCDD certifications means that our design will meet network standards, regardless of what business
your client is in or the project you will be facing. Media Design Group does not stop there. MDG goes
much further through coordination with MEPs and Architects to assure the proper grounding systems

are specified, how they are to be installed, calculate electrical loads imposed on the building, heat loads
for the MDF and IDF rooms, and complete specifications for MDF and IDF room construction. We
provide all information to the MEP for inclusion very early in the project.
Media Design Group also coordinates with the service providers (telephone and data) to ensure the
infrastructure is in place for termination from the street to the Point of Presence within the building.
We specify industry standard equipment rack types and assemblies, and coordinate with the MEP and
Owner as to how the installation will proceed successfully. This closes the open loop in the details
required for a successful network infrastructure.
BICSI
BICSI was founded in 1974 to serve and support telephone company building industry consultants (BICs) responsible for the
design and distribution of communications wiring in commercial and multi-family buildings. BICSI is a not-for-profit association
assisting communication professionals with their careers by providing training, certification, conferences and publications in the
design and installation of voice, data and AV technologies.
BICSI is an international not-for-profit association with over 25,000 professionals in 110 countries around the world. The
organization’s scope has also broadened beyond wiring
buildings to include data
networks and low-voltage control transport systems in
commercial buildings.
MDG Designers have 20+ yrs. experience
working with Architects/MEP. If you do not
have someone or are looking for a responsive
team, please contact us to discuss your
