TELECOMMUNICATION
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
TELECOMMUNICATION IN BUSINESS
• TELECOMMUNICATION
• Telecommunications, also known as telecom, is the exchange of
information over significant distances by electronic means and refers
to all types of voice, data and video transmission. This is a broad
term that includes a wide range of information transmitting
technologies such as telephones (wired and wireless), satellites, radio
and television broadcasting, the internet and telegraphs. The term
telecommunications is often used in its plural form because it
involves many different technologies
THE ROLE OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS IN
BUSINESS
• Telecommunication technology has advanced drastically over the past few years.
The advancements in telecommunication have not only affected the way
individuals communicate but also improved how businesses carry out their
operations. For any business, reliable and timely communication within and
outside the organization is a critical part of success. And to facilitate that, a
business needs to have a strong communication system in place. An entire
telecommunication setup may constitute computers, video conference
equipment, teleconference software, internet-based communication platforms
or business-oriented applications. All these tools can be used by both small and
enterprise-level businesses to achieve their communication needs.The following
are some of the major benefits that any business can enjoy from adopting the
latest telecommunication system and tools.
BENEFITS OF TELECOMMUNICATION IN
BUSINESS
• 1. COST SAVING
• 2. TIME SAVING
• 3. TEAM COLLABORATION
• 4. INFORMATION TRANSMISSION.
• 5. CUSTOMER SUPPORT
• 6. MARKETING AND ADVERTISING
• 7. BUSINESS REPORTING
TRENDS IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS
• Early telecommunications networks did not use computers to route
traffic and, as such, were much slower than today’s computer based
networks. Major trends occurring in the field of telecommunications
have a significant impact on management decisions in this area. You
should thus be aware of major trends in telecommunications
industries, technologies, and applications that significantly increase
the decision alternatives confronting business managers and
professionals.
• INDUSTRY TRENDS
• TECHNOLOGY TREND
• BUSINESS APPLICATION TREND
TRANSMISSION MODEST
• transmission mode means transferring of data between two devices.
It is also known as communication mode. Buses and networks are
designed to allow communication to occur between individual devices
that are interconnected. There are three types of transmission
mode:-
• Simplex Mode
• Half-Duplex Mode
• Full-Duplex Mode
CHANNELS
IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER NETWORKING, A
COMMUNICATION CHANNEL, OR CHANNEL, REFERS EITHER TO A PHYSICAL
TRANSMISSION MEDIUM SUCH AS A WIRE, OR TO A LOGICAL CONNECTION
OVER A MULTIPLEXED MEDIUM SUCH AS A RADIO CHANNEL.
WIRED TECHNOLOGY
• Two-Wire Open Line
• Coaxial Cable
• Twisted Pair Line
• Fiber Optics
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES
• Terrestrial microwave
• Communications Satellites
• Bluetooth
TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROCESSORS
Telecommunications processors such as modems, multiplexers,
switches, and routers perform a variety of support functions between
the computers and other devices in a telecommunications network
• MODEMS
• Modems are the most common type of communications processor.
They convertthe digital signals from a computer or transmission
terminal at one end of a communications link into analog frequencies
that can be transmitted over ordinary telephone lines. A modem at
the other end of the communications line converts the transmitted
data back into digital form at a receiving terminal.
• INTER-NETWORK PROCESSORS
Telecommunications networks are interconnected by special-purpose communications
processors called inter-network processors, such as switches, routers, hubs, and gateways.
• A switch is a communications processor that makes connections between
telecommunications circuits in a network.
• A router is an intelligent communications processor that interconnects networks based
on different rules or protocols, so a telecommunications message can be routed to its
destination.
• A hub is a port switching communications processor.
• Workstations, servers, printers, and other network resources are typically connected to
ports. Networks that use different communications architectures are interconnected by
using a communications processor called a gateway.
• MULTIPLEXERA
multiplexer is a communications processor that allows a single communications channel to
carry simultaneous data transmissions from many terminals.
• FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING In frequency division a multiplexer effectively
divides a high-speed channel into multiple slow-speed channels.
• DIVISION MULTIPLEXING (TDM) In division multiplexing the multiplexer divides the time
each terminal can use the high-speed line into very short time slots, or time frames
TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
ALTERNATIVES
• Terminals
• Telecommunication processors
• Telecommunication channels
• Computers of all sizes and types
• Telecommunications control software
