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 reason behind a communication system linking the USA and The Great Britain was to facilitate easy and quick communication between the president of the USA and the queen of England at the time was President James Buchanan and Queen Victoria. Communication between the two leaders was deemed very vital and thus a quick link between them had to be put in place.

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.

The first commercial electrical wire based telegraphs was invented in the year 1839 by Sir William Fothergil Sir Charles Wheatstone, which was an improved version of the already existent electromagnetic based telegraphy.

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.
