Concept of Telecommunication :y Concept ofTelecommunication Telecommunication is the
assisted transmission of signals over a distance for thepurpose of communication.
y In earlier times, this may have involved the use of smokesignals, drums, semaphore, f lags or heliograph.
y In modern times, telecommunication typically involves theuse of electronic devices such as the telephone, television,radio or computer.
y Early inventors in the field of telecommunication includeAlexander Graham Bell, Guglielmo Marconi and John Logie
Baird.y Telecommunication is an important part of the world
economy and the telecommunication industry's revenuewas estimated to be $1.2 trillion in 2006.

y Basic elements : A basic telecommunication systemconsists of three elements: a transmitter that takesinformation and converts it to a signal; a transmissionmedium that carries the signal; and, a receiver that receivesthe signal and converts it back into usable information.
y Analogue or digital Signals can be either analogue or
digital. In an analogue signal, the signal is variedcontinuously with respect to the information. In a digitalsignal, the information is encoded as a set of discrete values(for example ones and zeros).
y Networks A network is a collection of transmitters,receivers and transceivers that communicate with eachother. Digital networks consist of one or more routers thatwork together to transmit information to the correct user.An analogue network consists of one or more switches thatestablish a connection between two or more users.

y The benefits of electronic communication is that people across theworld can share televised pictures, conversations, graphics, circuits andinteractive softwares.
y The interaction between people residing in different geographicallocations have increased and have become promiscuous.
y
The conversations are more visual and textual. This is helpful mainlyfor hearing impaired people.y With electronic communication, the recipient receives the message
within a few seconds of the sender sending it. The recipient can readthe message anytime, anywhere according to his convenience.
y The speed of conversation has increased and this has resulted in fasterprocessing of important matters related to business, finance, trade, etc.For example, you can instantly access the information present in yourcomputer. As there are no restrictions about time and place, people cansit at home and do their office work if the required resources areavailable.This work arrangement is termed as telecommuting.

y The main issue with electronic communication is security.
y Hackimg and can get affected with computer virus.
y Electronic data can be duplicated identically without any proofof duplication. These messages can also be modified. At times,
people can intentionally send malicious programs like viruses,worms and Trojans through emails, which is difficult to detect.
y Another disadvantage of electronic communication is emailprivacy issues. An email is sent in the form of data packets viacomputer network. These data packets have to pass through a
number of routers (a computer device used for forwardingpackets in the computer network) and computers before itreaches its destination. So, there are chances of an individualtampering the emails before it reaches its recipient.

y The first facsimile equipment for use in interactionswas the chemical telegraph invented by AlexanderBain (1810-1877) in 1842 Modern fax machines became
feasible only in the mid-1970s as the simplicityincreased and cost of the underlying technologies
dropped
y By the mid-1980s, fax machines were very populararound the world Digital fax machines first becamepopular in Japan

y A fax machine is essentially an image scanner, a modem, and acomputer printer combined into a highly specialized package. Thescanner converts the content of a physical document into a digitalimage, The modem sends the image data over a phone line, The printerat the other end makes a duplicate of the original document. Parts
y The traditional method requires a phone line, and only one fax can besent or received at a time.
y A fax machine scans an image, whether it be text or a photo, byreading a very small area of the image at a time. The fax machinedecides whether the area it is reading is light or dark and assigns thearea a number such as "0" for white and "1" for dark. Then the faxtransmits the number to a remote facsimile receiver (usually viatelephone lines). The receiver makes a mark on paper corresponding to
the area on the original image Workingy Speed and time- The data transferring speed of fax machines is usually
36.6 kbps or in simple terms it can be said that they take almost 10seconds in sending one page of document. A speed of 33.6 kbps is thefastest you can send or receive, however the average speed is around14.4 Kbps, which is decent enough.

y Disadvantages offax machines? Need a separate space for the machine. Needs a telephone line. Needs power/electricity Requires paper for receiving and sending faxes Machine needs to be on always to receive faxes. If themachine is off, we may lose the faxes. Large probabilityof losing faxes, which could potentiallybe important.
Storage and Archival of these Printed Paper Faxes are verycumbersome. They'll need a good amount of space in theoffice. Aging of papers could lead to difficulties in managingrecords.
