Telecommunications industry

The telecommunications industry within the sector of information and communication technology is made up of allTelecommunications/telephone companiesand internet service providers and plays the crucial role in the evolution of mobile communications and the information society.
Traditional telephone calls continue to be the industry's biggest revenue generator, but thanks to advances in network technology, Telecom today is less about voice and increasingly about text (messaging, email) and images (e.g. video streaming). High-speed internet access for computer-based data applications such as broadband information services and interactive entertainment, is pervasive. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is the main broadband telecom technology. The fastest growth comes from (value-added) services delivered over mobile networks. [1]
The telecom sector continues to be at the epicenter for growth, innovation, and disruption for virtually any industry. Mobile devices and related broadbandconnectivity continue to be more and more embedded in the fabric of society today and they are key in driving the momentum around some key trends such as video streaming, Internet of Things(IoT), and mobile payments.
— Deloitte[2]
Think of telecommunications as the world's biggest machine. Strung together by complexnetworks, telephones, mobile phones and internet-linkedPCs, the global system touches nearly all of us. It allows us to speak, share thoughts and do business with nearly anyone, regardless of where in the world they might be. Telecom operating companies make all this happen.

Insight Research[3] projects that telecommunications services revenueworldwide will grow from $2.2 trillion in 2015 to $2.4 trillion in 2019.[4]

Market segmentationEdit

Of all the customer markets, residential andsmall business markets are the toughest. With hundreds of players in the market, competitors rely heavily on price; success rests largely on brand name strength and investment in efficient billing systems. Thecorporate market remains the industry's favorite. Big corporate customers are concerned mostly about the quality and reliability of their telephone calls and data delivery while being less price-sensitive than residential customers. Multinationals, spend heavily on telecom infrastructure and premium services like high-security private networks and videoconferencing. Network connectivity can also be provided to other telecom companies by wholesaling circuits to heavy network users like internet service providers and large corporations. [1]

Local aria network

LAN A conceptual diagram of a local area network. "LAN" redirects here. For other uses, see   LAN (disambiguation) . A   local area network   ( LAN ) is a   computer network   that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building. [1]   By contrast, a   wide area network (WAN) not only covers a larger geographic distance, but also generally involves   leased telecommunication circuits . Ethernet   and   Wi-Fi   are the two most common technologies in use for local area networks. Historical technologies include   ARCNET , Token ring , and   AppleTalk . History Cabling Edit Early LAN cabling had generally been based on various grades of   coaxial cable . Shielded twisted pair   was used in IBM's   Token Ring LAN implementation, but in 1984,   StarLAN showed the potential of simple   unshielded twis...
