Telecommunications engineer working to maintain London's phone service during World War 2, in 1942. Telecommunications engineering is a subfield of electronics engineering which seeks to design and devise systems of communication at a distance. [1] [2] The work ranges from basic circuit design to strategic mass developments.
Telecommunication is a compound noun of the Greek prefix tele-(τῆλε), meaning distant, far off, or afar, [7] and the Latin verb communicare, meaning to share. Its modern use is adapted from the French, [ 8 ] because its written use was recorded in 1904 by the French engineer and novelist Édouard Estaunié .
Communications system engineering is the translation of user requirements for the exchange of information into cost-effective and low-risk technical solutions in terms of equipment and subsystems. Contents
A telecommunications network is a group of nodes interconnected by telecommunications links that are used to exchange messages between the nodes. The links may use a variety of technologies based on the methodologies of circuit switching , message switching , or packet switching , to pass messages and signals.
Telecommunications engineering deals with the transmission of information across a medium such as a co-axial cable, an optical fiber, or free space. Transmissions across free space require information to be encoded in a carrier wave in order to be transmitted, this is known as modulation .
Communication system An electronic communications system using electronic signals. A communications system or communication system is a collection of individual telecommunications networks systems, relay stations, tributary stations, and terminal equipment usually capable of interconnection and interoperation to form an integrated whole.
The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers or SCTE a subsidiary of CableLabs ® is a non-profit professional association for accelerating the deployment of technology, technical standards and workforce development education related to cable telecommunications engineering and operations.
Teletraffic engineering, or telecommunications traffic engineering is the application of transportation traffic engineering theory to telecommunications.Teletraffic engineers use their knowledge of statistics including queuing theory, the nature of traffic, their practical models, their measurements and simulations to make predictions and to plan telecommunication networks such as a telephone ...
