What is telecommunications?What is telecommunications?
• “tele” – Greek for distant
• “communicatio” – Italian for connection
• Telecommunication– distant connection or– transfer of meaningful information from one location to
another
• Today it means:– “high tech” methods of information transfer
• Voice• Video• Data

Some of what the Future HoldsSome of what the Future Holds
• I. Expansion to the developing world (estimated ~ 3 billion people have never used a telephone)
– Opportunities to build “green fields” network designs– Short-cut to the latest technology– Huge role for fixed wireless and satellite
• II. Machine-to-Machine communication– More machines than humans– Can exchange data more quickly– Think: “this overhead projector will have its own IP address and talk on its
own to the world about its bulb burning out” – “pervasive computing”– Seamless human-machine interfaces; wearable computers, virtual reality
