TELECOMUNATIONS AND
METERIOLOGY
Telecommunication in the modern era is the
science and practice of transmitting information
by electromagnetic means.
In earlier times, telecommunications involved
the use of visual signals, such as beacons, smoke
signals, semaphore telegraphs, signal flags, and
optical heliographs, or audio messages such as
coded drumbeats, lung-blown horns, and loud
whistles.
In modern times, telecommunications
involves the use of electrical devices such as the
telegraph, telephone, and teleprinter, as well as
the use of radio, microwave transmission towers,
fiber optics, orbiting satellites and the Internet,
which is a vast world-wide computer network.
A revolution in wireless telecommunications
began in the first decade of the 1900s with
pioneering developments in radio
communications by Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo
Marconi.
Marconi won the Nobel Prize in
Physics in 1909 for his efforts.
