The document provides an introduction to telecommunications. It discusses how telecommunications has become important for long-distance communication, education, business, entertainment and more. Telecommunications allows people to communicate across great distances through methods like video calls, email, chat and phone calls. It connects people worldwide and impacts many businesses. The document defines telecommunications as the electronic transmission of voice, data, text, images and video over long distances using various mediums such as radio waves, microwaves and fiber optic cables. Telecommunication networks consist of multiple transmitting and receiving stations.

2. INTRODUCCTION
The need for the Communications over the longer distance has become the most important
aspect of the human lives. The term telecommunication is applied on the number of things
such as internet, mobile phones, VOIP, satellite systems, radio, television, LAN and satellite
phones. It is a great medium for the distant educational resources, business promotion, voice
communication and entertainment. It has reduced the need of physical travel as with its power
we can communicate with each other through the video conferencing, emails, chats, and
internet phone calls. It has made the people from all around the world to come closer to each
other. It has great impact on the large number of the businesses.
Today we need to communicate with the people on the other part of the globe.
Telecommunication is the electronic transmission of the voice, data, text, images and video
signals over a long distance through different mediums such as micro waves, radio waves and
fiber optic cables etc. A telecommunication networks consist of multiple transmitting and
receiving stations. Right now, as seen in machine to machine with AT&T, there's advances
where telecommunication will be able to transmit data from telecommunication systems to
computers to analyze data in a real time environment.
Telecommunication includes the satellite systems, broadband systems, microwave systems,
digital networks, telephone networks, radio stations, LAN and wireless networks. In a telecom
network, data is transmitted in the form of communication signals known as carrier wave that
travels over the radio or microwave. The telecom systems consist of three basic elements i.e.
transmitter, transmission medium and receiver. The transmitter and receiver can be combined
into a single device known as transceivers.
