Telecommunication Introduction Telecommunication?is the transmission of information, over significant distances, to communicate. In earlier times, telecommunications involved the use of visual signals, such as?beacons, smoke,?semaphore telegraphs,?signal flags, and optical?heliographs, or audio messages via coded drumbeats, lung-blown horns, or sent by loud whistles, for example. In the modern age of electricity and electronics, telecommunications now also includes the use of electrical devices such as?telegraphs,?telephones, and?teletypes, the use of?radio?and microwave communications, as well as?fiber optics?and their associated electronics, plus the use of the?orbiting sate llites and the?Internet. Outline of telecommunication The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to telecommunication: Telecommunication – the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication. In modern times, this process almost always involves the use of electromagnetic waves by transmitters and receivers, but in earlier years it also involved the use of drums and visual signals such as smoke, fire, beacons, semaphore lines and other optical communications The History of telecommunication The history of telecommunication began with the use of smoke signals and drums in Africa, the Americas and parts of Asia. In the 1790s, the first fixed semaphore systems emerged in Europe; however it was not until the 1830s that electrical telecommunication systems started to appear. This article details the history of telecommunication and the individuals who helped make telecommunication systems what they are today. The history of telecommunication is an important part of the larger history of communication.
