Study Notes
Telecommunications
- Telecommunications is the electronic transmission of signals for communication.
- Telecommunications impact businesses because they lessen the barriers of time and distance.
- A telecommunications medium is a substance used to carry electronic signals to allow communication.
- Examples of telecommunications media include phones, radio, and television.
A General Model of Telecommunications
- A sending unit like a person, a computer system, a terminal, or another device sends a message signal to a telecommunications device.
- The telecommunications device processes the signal, converting it to a different form or type before sending it through a telecommunications medium.
- Another telecommunications device receives the signal at the receiving computer.
Channel Bandwidth and Broadband Communications
- Telecommunications speed is measured in bits per second (bps).
- Common speeds range from thousands of bits per second (kbps) to millions of bits per second (mbps) and billions of bits per second (gbps).
- Channel bandwidth is the rate at which data is exchanged over a communication channel, typically measured in bits per second (bps).
- Broadband communications is a telecommunications system capable of high data exchange rates.
