The History Of Telecommunications Tulsa OK

By Marci Glover


In the olden days, communication between two people required them to be within each others visual sight or audio range. Other forms of communication included smoke and drum beating. In late 1830s and early 1840s, Telecommunications Tulsa OK, was born which invented new and speedy ways of communication among people.

The new modes of communication that were invented included telegraphy, telephony and electronic mail. This involved passing of information in the form of electric signals through metallic cables. These cables were first put up in USA and the Great Britain where they were laid along the sea beds. These channels of communication brought an overhaul in the communications systems in the entire world, as more convenient avenues for passing and receiving information were put forth.

The main aim of laying a communication link between USA and the Great Britain was to facilitate an easy communication between the president of USA called James Buchanan and the queen of Great Britain known as Victoria. For this reason, the project could not afford to fail at all costs since the communication between the two leaders was deemed very important.

These cables however failed quickly and could not offer reliable form of communication between the USA and the Great Britain, which was heartbreaking owing to the huge investment that had been undertaken. More needed to be done in this area to ensure success in this area, and so the two countries remained committed to ensuring the communication link was up and running. It was until the year 1956 that the telephone link between the two countries was successfully set up.

Earlier before the industrial revolution had taken root, a French scientist named Claude Chappe invented a communication system that was very simple, but very expensive to implement successfully. The system basically used semaphore but was developed to offer communication to people who are far apart. Tall buildings were erected on top of which operators received messages from another operator on another building, understood it and then transmitted it to the next building. This system had been widely accepted but was overtaken by the new and better telegraph system in the year 1880.

The first telegraphs using electrical wires was invented by Sir Fothergill, Sir Charles Wheatstone. This was an improvement to the already existing telegraphy. The earlier versions of telegraph were based on electromagnetic technology.

The communication industry had clearly taken the right for takeoff because new and ingenious communication method came along rapidly. In the early 20th century, wireless forms of communications were discovered which made it possible for people to communicate over great distances without necessarily having a physical link between them such as the copper cables. The first version of wireless communication was invented by Nobel laureate Guglielmo Marconi, which involved use of radio waves.

The present day communication system has evidently undergone a huge evolution to get to its current state. The present day system has reduced the world into a global village where communication is quick, efficient safe and cheap. This was made possible by the hard work and dedication of early days scientist who provided a basis for extensive research and further development of communication systems.
