The Evolution Of Telecommunications Tulsa OK

By Marci Glover


Back in the days, for people to communicate, they had to be at close proximity to pass the information across. At a distance, the channels of communication available included drum beating and some signals. The scope of information that would be sent was narrow. Telecommunication was invented between the late 1830s and early 1840s which revamped the telecommunications Tulsa OK by providing a quick and convenient mode of communication amongst different people.

Telegraphy, telephony and electronic mail were the initial methods to be discovered which promised a faster and efficient method of communication. Messages were transported from one point to another using small electrical pulse which were encoded and decoded at the start and end points. The electrical pulses were carried through copper wires which had first been laid down between the USA and the Great Britain.

The USA and the Great Britain always had a good working relationship which meant that constant communication between leaders of both countries was inevitable which necessitated laying of underground copper wires linking the two countries to facilitate the communication. To a great extent, this meant that the project to create a communication link between the two countries had no room for failure.

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.

A rather interesting form of communication invented by a French man known as Claude Chappe was designed to transmit messages from one place to another rapidly in the year 1792. The system involved setting up of a number of towers that were six miles apart. Operators located on top of these towers would receive a message and transmit it to the next tower. The transmission of messages was mainly through use of semaphores. The system lasted only up to 1880 when it was rendered obsolete by the now powerful telegraph system.

Electrical wire based telegraphy was first implemented on a large scale in the year 1839 which replaced the previous electromagnetic telegraphy that was less efficient. The new system was designed and implemented by Sir William Fothergil Sir together with Charles Wheatstone.

The development of the communication system had taken a good start. In the 20th century, more convenient system of communication was invented. This was wireless communication which required no physical link between the sender and recipient of the information. This mode of communication was invented by Nobel Laureate Guglielmo Marconi using 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.
