5
Telecommunications
Communication over a distance Voice Video Data
Telecommunications – voice communications Data Communication – data signals
6
Telephone Connected to Central Office
7
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
Voice signals emerge from telephone as analog (analogous) signals
All telephones connected to a local central office Automated switching system connects callers to
desired location Contains a line circuit for each telephone
connected to it Codec (coder/decoder) converts analog signals
into digital signals
8
Packet (or Public) Data Network
9
Packet Data Network (PDN)
Digital data can be transmitted over the PSTN Modems Packet Data Network
Wide area network Uses PSTN facilities reserved for data
transmission
10
Beginning of Telecommunications
Samuel F.B. Morse (1791-1872) Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937)
11
Telegraph (Morse)
Morse formed a telegraph company based on his invention in 1845.
Western Union Telegraph Company was established in 1856.
Morse developed The repeater, that could regenerate electrical
signals. Morse code, to transmit letters of the alphabet.
12
Radio (Marconi)
Marconi discovered how to make electric energy radiate from wire into air (electromagnetic radiation).
Radio waves first used for wireless telegraph. Not long before voice signals were being
carried. In the 1940s radio signals were used to
transmit video and television was born.
13
Fiber Optic Technology
Two scientific developments in the 1980s A way transmit voice, data, and video using light. A way to transmit light signals over narrow
ribbons of glass (glass fiber). Sprint built an entire network using fiber
Completely new network (not stuck with old technology).
First Interexchange Carrier (IEX) with an all-digital network for long distance calls.
14
Invention of the Telephone
In 1876, Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell filed papers with the patent office for an invention called the telephone. Gray filed a disclosure notification. Bell’s father-in-law filed a patent for Bell.
The Supreme Court ruled in a split decision that Bell is to be recognized as the inventor of the telephone.
15
Relay Centers and Speed of Delivery
The telegraph system The telephone system Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) Interactive-Voice-Response (IVR) systems
16
Connection of Telephone Offices
17
Connection of Telephone Offices
Telegraph system Far superior to U.S. mail system Sender still had to wait hours for response due to
delay involved in messenger locating recipient Telephone company in 1870s originally used
same approach Customer would give operator a message along
with recipient Message would be relayed to telephone center in
next town
18
Long Distance Network
19
Long Distance Network
Toll network Established by Bell Company Reduced number of relays made to complete long
distance calls Managed by AT&T Long Lines department
Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) Bell and non-Bell Connected to an AT&T toll center
Could take up to an hour to get call through
20
Function Automation
First functions to be automated were local operator functions
Next were long distance operator functions Interactive-Voice-Response (IVR) systems
Collect calls Person-to-person Allow caller to provide information via scripted
questions Operators used to handle calls rejected by
automated system
21
Another Type of Relay Center
Hearing impaired Operators at relay centers are called agents
Operator talks to hearing party Operator uses teletype to communicate with
hearing impaired party
22
Relay Center
23
Telecommunications for the Hearing Impaired
Major telecommunications service Each state government contracts to provide
service via relay centers Relay agent communicates with hearing party Hearing impaired party uses a teletype
Uses a special purpose modem Different code than a PC for transmission
24
Increasing Speed of Telecommunications
Significant increases in speed in which telephone call can be made Automating the switching systems Eliminating the need for operators to make
connections Development of computer-controlled
switching systems Development of signaling systems to connect
computer-controlled switching systems
25
SS7 Network
26
Signaling System 7 (SS7)
Contains special purpose computers and databases connected in a data network
Connects all computer-controlled switching systems Provides a path that allows information from one
computer-controlled switching system to reach another Caller ID Call forwarding Conference calling
Establishes calls in a few milliseconds
27
Increasing Ability to Handle Data
PSTN has evolved into an all-digital network Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit (VLSI)
chips Large number of components Small in size and cost
Fiber optic cables for transmission media Multiplexing – placing many signals over one
transmission medium
28
Multiplexer
29
Multiplexer
Very Large-Scale Integrated Circuit (VLSI) chips Hardware devices that handle digital signals Small (in size and cost), special purpose
integrated circuit chips Use of fiber optic cables for transmission
media has helped make enormously fast signal changes possible
Multiplexing is a technique used to place many signals over one transmission medium
30
Multiplexing Using DWDM and OC-48
31
Dense Wave Division Multiplexer (DWDM)
Uses 32 different light waves to carry signals over one fiber
Each multiplexer sends signals at 10 billion signal changes per second
One fiber can carry 320 billion signal changes per second
One fiber cable can contain 140 fibers for 22 trillion signal changes per second
32
Fiber Cable Networks
Handle all types of telecommunications services Telephone calls Data and video Internet
Business users Link personal computers, file servers, and mainframes
Cellular technology Connnect to switching centers
33
Fiber Carrying All Types of Circuits
34
Telecommunications for Voice Applications in Business
Large businesses have a telecommunications department to handle use of technology
Voice and data services have merged – Voice-Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Private switching systems Private Branch Exchange (PBX) Keysystem
Automatic Call Distributor (ACD)
35
Voice-Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
36
Voice-Over Internet Protocol
Delivers voice and data over the data network
Standards developed Quality improved Can replace analog telephones
37
PBX Switching System
38
PBX Switching System
Has all telephones of the business connected to it
Also connected to the local exchange carrier (Central Office, CO lines)
Employees can dial each other directly or dial 9 for a CO (outside) line
39
PC-Based PBX or UnPBX
40
UnPBX
Furnished via personal computers Special cards containing RJ-11 jacks Jacks allow for connecting to telephones or C.O.
lines Can also provide information about the call
on its screen Computer Telephony Integrated (CTI)
systems do this automatically using caller ID
41
Keysystems
42
Keysystems
Many small businesses do not need a PBX Used when business has
Less than 24 telephones Less than12 connections to the LEC
Hybrid systems Combines some features and functions of a PBX
with a keysystem Used to handle requirements between those of a
PBX and keysystem
43
Automatic Call Distributor
44
Automatic Call Distributor
Used by large call centers to distribute incoming calls to their operators
Used by telemarketing companies to place outbound calls automatically Predictive dialing software
System connects the next call with the next available agent
45
ACD and LAN
46
ACD and LAN
Many inbound ACD installations also include the installation of a local area network (LAN) for data
Calls received by the ACD can also include information for the call center from the PSTN via SS7
This information is used to provide the operator or agent with information about the caller
Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) combine these functions with the ACD in PC-based systems
47
Telecommunications for Data Applications in Business
Need for special data communication networks that tie all computers together Local Area Networks (LANs) Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) Wide Area Networks (WANs)
48
LAN to WAN
49
Local Area Networks (LANs)
80% of LANs use Ethernet to allow PCs to access the network
PCs connected to Ethernet via two twisted-pair copper wires RJ-45 connectors terminate the four wires Network Interface Card (NIC) in PC Wiring hub serves as the Ethernet
50
The Internet
Grown tremendously over the last two decades
As much impact on society as telephone, television, and PC
National Information Infrastructure (NII) – U.S. Government program to establish an information super highway
