Telecommunications Engineering
Telecommunications engineering is the branch of computer education which deals with the sending of signals across long distances for communication. In ancient times, communication was done by means of fires, messengers or carrier birds. In the modern era, telecommunications engineering has proved to be a boon for communication.
The World of Telecommunications Engineering:
The initial means of telecommunications through electricity were through Morse code telegraphy. This paved the way for the radio. Today telecommunications engineers have moved ahead by introducing ultra-thin optical fibers, each of which has the capacity to carry nearly half a million of digital channels. Telecommunications engineering have evolved with breakthrough applications like:
- Satellites
- The Internet
- Gen-next mobile phones
- Control for air traffic, etc.
