Telecommunications. Engineering. As an engineering, discipline, centered, on Electrical and Computer Engineering, which, seeks to support, and enhance, telecommunication. Systems, the. Work ranges, from basic, circuit, design to strategic, mass developments. A, telecommunication. Engineer, is responsible, for designing and, overseeing, the installation. Of telecommunications. Equipment and, facilities, such, as complex, electronic. Switching, systems, and other plain old telephone service, facilities. Optical, fiber cabling, IP networks. And microwave. Transmission. Systems. Telecommunication. Engineering also. Overlaps, with broadcast, engineering. Telecommunication. As a diverse, field of engineering, connected, to electronic, civil and systems, engineering, they help find the cost of money for different types of computers, and technological. Objects. Ultimately. Telecom. Engineers, are responsible, for providing high-speed. Data transmission. Services, they. Use a variety, of equipment and transport, media to design the telecom, network, infrastructure. The most common, media used by wired, telecommunications. Today are twisted, pair coaxial. Cables, and optical, fibers. Telecommunications. Engineers, also provides, solutions revolving. Around wireless. Modes of communication and, information, transfer, such as wireless, telephony services. Radio, and satellite, communications. And internet, and broadband, technologies. Topic. History. Telecommunication. Systems, are generally designed, by, telecommunication. Engineers, which sprang from technological. Improvements. In the Telegraph, industry in, the late 19th, century and the radio and the telephone, industries, in the early 20th, century. Today. Telecommunication. As widespread and, devices, that assist the process such as the television radio. And telephone are common, in many parts of the world there. Are also many, networks, that connect these devices, including, computer, networks, public, switched telephone network. PSTN, radio. Networks, and television. Networks. Computer. Communication. Across the internet as one of many examples of, telecommunication. Telecommunication. Plays a vital role in the world economy and the telecommunication. Industry's, revenue has, been placed, at just under 3% of the gross world product. Topic. Telegraph. And telephone. You. Samuel. Morse independently. Developed, a version of the electrical, Telegraph that he unsuccessfully. Demonstrated. On the 2nd of September. 1837. Soon. After he was joined by Alfred, Vale who developed, the register, a telegraph. Terminal, that integrated, a logging device for recording messages. To paper tape this. Was demonstrated, successfully. Over three miles five kilometres on the 6th of January, 1838. And eventually, over 40, miles 64, kilometres. Between, Washington, DC and, Baltimore on. The 24th. Of May 1844. The. Patented, invention proved. Lucrative, and by 1851. Telegraph. Lines in the United States, spanned over 20,000. Miles, 32,000. Kilometers the. First successful, transatlantic. Telegraph. Cable was, completed, on the 27th. Of July. 1866. Allowing, transatlantic. Telecommunication. For the first time, earlier. Transatlantic. Cables, installed, in, 1857. And 1858. Only operated, for a few days or weeks before they failed the. International. Use of the Telegraph, has sometimes been dubbed the Victorian. Internet, the, first commercial, telephone, services, were set up in 1878. And 1879. On both sides of the Atlantic, in the cities of New Haven and London. Alexander. Graham Bell held the master patent for the telephone that, was needed for such services, in both countries the. Technology. Grew quickly from this point with intercity, lines being, built and telephone, exchanges. In every major city of the United States by, the mid 1880s. Despite. This transatlantic. Voice, communication. Remained impossible. For customers, until January, 7. 1927. When a connection, was established using radio. However. No cable, connection, existed, until tap, 1 was inaugurated on, September, 25th. 1956. Providing, 36, telephone, circuits in 1880. Bell and Co inventor, Charles, Sumner Tainter, conducted, the world's first, wireless.
Phone Call via modulated. Light beams projected. By photo phones, the. Scientific. Principles, of their invention, would not be utilized for several, decades when they were first deployed in military, and fiber-optic. Communications. Topic. Radio, and television. Over. Several years starting. In 1894. The Italian, inventor ghuli Elmo Marconi, built the first complete, commercially. Successful wireless. Telegraphy, system, based on airborne, electromagnetic. Waves radio, transmission. In, December. 1901. He, would go on to established, wireless, communication. Between Britain and Newfoundland, earning, him the Nobel Prize in Physics in, 1909, which, he shared with Karl Braun in. 1900. Reginald, Fessenden was, able to wirelessly transmit a, human, voice on March. 25th. 1925. Scottish. Inventor John, Logie, Baird publicly. Demonstrated, the transmission. Of moving silhouette, pictures, at the London department, store Selfridges. In October. 1925. Baird was successful. In obtaining moving. Pictures, with halftone, shades which were by most accounts the first true television, pictures, this led to a public, demonstration, of the improved, device on the 26th. Of January. 1926. Again, at Selfridges. Barrett's. First devices relied, upon the NIP cow disk and thus became known as the mechanical, television, it. Formed, the basis of semi experimental. Broadcasts done. By the British Broadcasting Corporation. Beginning. September 30th. 1929. Topics. Satellite the first u.s. satellite, to relay communications was. Project, score in 1958. Which, used a tape recorder, to store-and-forward voice. Messages. It. Was used to send a Christmas greeting to the world from u.s. President, Dwight D Eisenhower, in. 1960. NASA launched, an echo satellite, the 100, foot 30 meters aluminized. PET film balloon. Served as a passive, reflector, for radio communications. Courier. 1 be built, by Philco also, launched in 1960. Was the world's, first active, repeater, satellite. Satellites. These days are used for many applications such. As uses, in GPS, television. Internet, and telephone uses. Telstar. Was the first active, direct, relay, commercial, communications. Satellite, belonging. To AT&T, as, part of a multinational, agreement. Between AT&T, bell, telephone laboratories, NASA, the British General, Post Office and the French national PTT. Post office, to develop satellite. Communications. It was launched by NASA from, Cape Canaveral on July 10, 1962. The, first privately, sponsored space. Launch, relay. 1 was launched on December 13. 1962. And became the first satellite, to broadcast across. The Pacific, on November, 22nd. 1963. The, first and historically, most important, application. For communication, satellites, was an intercontinental.
Long-distance, Telephony, the. Fixed, public switched telephone network. Relays, telephone, calls from landline, telephones, to an earth station where, they are then transmitted. A receiving, satellite, dish via a geostationary. Satellite. In Earth orbit. Improvements. In submarine, communications. Cables, through the use of fiber optics, caused some decline, in the use of satellites. For fixed telephony in, the late 20th, century but, they still exclusively. Service remote islands, such as Ascension. Island st., Helena Diego, Garcia and Easter Island where, no submarine, cables, are in service, there. Are also some, content, and some regions, of countries, where landline. Telecommunications. Are rare to non-existent for, example, Antarctica. Plus large regions, of Australia South. America Africa. Northern, Canada, China Russia, and Greenland. After. Commercial, long-distance. Telephone service. Was established, via communication. Satellites, a host of other commercial, telecommunications, were. Also, adapted, to similar satellites, starting, in 1979. Including. Mobile satellite phones, satellite, radio, satellite. Television and, satellite, internet, access, the. Earliest, adaption, for most such services, occurred in the 1990s. As the pricing, for commercial, satellite, transponder. Channels continued, to drop significantly. Topic. Computer. Networks, and the Internet. On the. 11th, of September, 1940. George stupids, was able to transmit, problems, using teleprinter. To his complex, number, calculator, in New York and receive the computed, results, back at Dartmouth, College in, New Hampshire this. Configuration, of, a centralized, computer, or mainframe, computer, with remote dumb, terminals. Remained. Popular throughout, the 1950s. And into the 1960s. However. It was not until the 1960s. That, researchers, started to investigate, packet, switching, a technology. That allows chunks, of data to be sent between different, computers without, first passing through, a centralized, mainframe, a four. Node network emerged, on the 5th of December, 1969. This. Network soon became the ARPANET, which by 1981. Would, consist, of 213. Nodes ARPA. Ne T's development. Centered, around the request, for comment process and, on the 7th of April, 1969.
RFC. 1 was published, this. Process, is important, because ARPANET, would eventually merge, with other networks to, form the Internet and many of the communication. Protocols, that the internet relies upon today, were specified. Through the request for comment process in, September. 1981. RFC. 791. Introduced. The Internet, Protocol, version 4 ipv4. And. RFC. 793. Introduced. The transmission. Control protocol, TCP. Thus. Creating, the tcp/ip. Protocol. That much of the internet relies, upon today. Topic. Optical. Fiber. Optical. Fiber can be used as a medium for, telecommunication. And computer networking. Because, it is flexible and can be bundled into cables, it. Is especially advantageous. For, long-distance, communications. Because light propagates. Through the fiber with little attenuation, compared. To electrical, cables, this. Allows long distances. To be spanned with few repeaters, in. 1966. Charles, K Cao and George, Holcomb, proposed, optical, fibers, at STC, laboratories. STL, at Harlow, England, when they showed that the losses of 1,000. Decibels, per kilometer, in existing, glass compared, to five to ten decibels, per kilometer, in coaxial, cable, was due to contaminants, which could potentially be removed. Optical. Fiber was successfully. Developed, in 1970. By Corning Glass Works with. Attenuation. Low enough for communication. Purposes, about 20 decibels per kilometer. And at the same time gallium, 3 arsenide, gallium arsenide. Semiconductor. Lasers, were developed, that were compact, and therefore suitable for transmitting, light through fiber optic, cables, for long distances. After, a, period of research starting, from, 1975. The first commercial, fiber-optic. Communications. System, was developed, which operated, at a wavelength around, 0.8. Micrometers, and used gallium, 3 arsenide, semiconductor. Lasers, this. First generation system. Operated. At a bit rate of 45, megabits, per second, with repeater, spacing of, up to 10 kilometers. Soon. On the 22nd. Of April. 1977. General, telephone and, electronics. Sent the first live telephone, traffic, through fiber optics, at a 6 megabits, per second, throughput in Long Beach California. The. First wide, area, network, fiber-optic. Cable system, in the world seems, to have been installed, by Reed Ephesian, in Hastings, East Sussex UK. In, 1978. The. Cables, were placed in ducting, throughout the town and had over 1,000. Subscribers. They. Were used at that time for, the transmission, of television channels, not available, because of local reception. Problems. The. First transatlantic, telephone. Cable to, use optical fiber, was TAT 8 based on desser via optimized, laser, amplification. Technology. It. Went into operation in. 1988. In, the. Late 1990s. Through 2000. Industry, promoters, and research, companies, such as KMI, and RHK. Predicted, massive, increases, in demand for communications. Bandwidth, due to increased, use of the internet and commercialization. Of various, bandwidth, intensive consumer. Services, such, as video on-demand. Internet. Protocol, data traffic was increasing, exponentially. At a faster, rate than integrated. Circuit complexity, had increased, under Moore's law. Topic. Concepts. Topic. Basic.
