Barb Pfeifer and Logan Mitchell, ethernet/IP technicians at Dakota Carrier Network, have recently earned Nokia Certified Network Routing Specialist I (NRS I) certification. Both technicians are based in Bismarck and serve customers throughout the state.
NRS I certification recognizes proficiency in managing and maintaining Nokia’s advanced network infrastructure in order to optimize network performance, enhance security, and address any network-related challenges. Having this knowledge means a more robust, efficient, and secure network, which in turn means better, more reliable services for DCN customers.
Pfeifer joined DCN in 2011 as a network support representative and became an Ethernet/IP technician in 2014. Prior to DCN, she held various roles with a national telecommunications company for nearly 20 years. She earned a bachelor’s degree in office administration from Concordia College (Moorhead) and is also an MEF Carrier Ethernet Certified Professional (CECP).
Mitchell, who has been with DCN since March, is a graduate of Bismarck State College and holds an AAS in cybersecurity and computer networks. He also earned certificates in computer networking and security and hacking from BSC, as well as Foundational Cybersecurity Technologies from GIAC (previously Global Information Assurance Certification).
