Communication
Technology - Meaning

Communication technology is range of

technologies used for gathering, storing,
retrieving, processing, analyzing, and
transmitting information. This includes personal
computers, mobile phones, the internet etc.
It refers to electronic systems used for
communication between individuals or groups. It
facilitates communication between individuals or
groups who may be at different physical
locations. Communication technology may
include systems such as telephones, fax, radio
and e-mail.

Technology in communication

In the modern times,

communication and
technology are very closely
related.
Telephone, television and
internet have become an
integral part of day to day
life.
It has become impossible for
institutions to run without the
modern technology.

INTERNET
The Internet is a global system
of interconnected computer
networks that use the standard
Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP)
to link several billion devices
worldwide. It is a network of
networks that consists of
millions of private, public,
academic, business, and
government networks, of local
to global scope, that are linked
by a broad array of electronic,
wireless, and optical networking
technologies.

The internet, then known as ARPANET, was

brought online in 1969 under a contract led by
the renamed Advanced Research Projects
Agency which initially connected 4 major
computers at universities in the south western
US.
It was a result of some visionary thinking by
people in the early 1960s.They saw great
potential value in allowing computers to share
information on research and development.

TELECOMMUNICATION

Telecommunications involves the use of electrical

devices such as the telegraph, telephone, and
teleprinter, as well as the use of radio and
microwave communications, as well as fiber optics
and their associated electronics, plus the use of the
orbiting satellites and the Internet
The non-electric telegraph was invented by Claude
Chappe in 1794.
In 1809, a crude telegraph was invented in Bavaria
by Samuel Soemmering.

Computer

A computer is a general purpose device that

can be programmed to carry out a set of
arithmetic or logical operations
automatically. Since a sequence of
operations can be readily changed, the
computer can solve more than one kind of
problem.
The simplest form of a computer was an
abacus, which helped in doing arithmetic
calculations.
Possibly the most significant of those shifts
was the invention of the Graphical User

Diversity in physical
infrastructure and high speed
broadband networks
Developments in the diversity of physical
infrastructure and broadband speed signal more
choice, variety and increasing bandwidth. There
are multiple distribution channels for professional
content- mobile, IP-based, terrestrial and satellite
broadcasting. Network access arrangements are
likely to be a mix of open or shared access and
closed systems.

1. Broadband- It is a
class of data
transmission
technologies,
including optic - fibre,
xDSL, HCF cable and
wireless, offering a
data range
significantly higher
than narrowband
services.

Other examples of
diversity in physical
infrastructures-

Digital broadcasting

Smart radio systems- cognitive and

software defined radio

Sensor networks

Mesh networks

Wireless Technology

Wireless communication is the transfer of

information between two or more points that are
not connected by an electrical conductor.
The most common wireless technologies use
radio. With radio waves distances can be short,
such as a few meters for television or as far as
thousands or even millions of kilometers for
deep-space radio communications. It
encompasses various types of fixed, mobile, and
portable applications, including two-way radios,
cellular telephones, personal digital assistants
(PDAs), and wireless networking.

Radio
It started with the discovery of "radio waves" electromagnetic waves that have the capacity to
transmit music, speech, pictures and other data
invisibly through the air.
Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor, proved the
feasibility of radio communication. He sent and
received his first radio signal in Italy in 1895.
By 1899 he flashed the first wireless signal across
the English Channel and two years later received the
letter "S", telegraphed from England to
Newfoundland. This was the first successful
transatlantic radiotelegraph message in 1902.

Television
It is a telecommunication medium that is
used for transmitting and receiving moving
images and sound. In a broader sense,
television can also refer to images that are
monochrome (black-and-white) or color, or
images with or without accompanying sound.
Television may also refer specifically to a
television set, television program, or
television transmission.

Mobile devices and social media are

reshaping how and when we communicate
with one another using the tools and devices
we use both in business and private life. The
way we interact with computers is no longer
restricted to graphical interfaces and
keyboards, but it is being extended through
touch screens, voice interfaces and dialogue
systems, and mobile devices with
accelerometers that tell the device how it is
held by the user.
