The History Of Telecommunications Tulsa OK

By Marci Glover


Before the industrial revolution, the only form of communication could only happen when the communicators were physically close to each other. In order for people to communicate over longer distances, they used traditional methods such as the drum beating and smoke. Telecommunications Tulsa OK started to emerge in the early 1840s which came along with new and better ways of transmitting messages between individuals.

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 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.

However, the laid cables would often fail which was very frustrating considering that a lot of money had been put into this project. However, the USA and the Great Britain were still committed to seeing the project succeeded which ensured that eventually it succeeded in the year 1956 to the amazement of many.

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.

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.

By now, the rapid changes had set the communication industry on a favorable path that would later lead it to its extraordinary growth. As the 20th century set in, wireless method of communication was discovered which went a long way in ensuring that people from far apart geographical locations could still communicate without laying copper cables between them which was not only costly, but tedious.

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.
