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 methods of communication that were invented were telephony, telegraphy as well as electronic mails among others. This involved transmission of electric signals through metallic cables over long distances. These cables were first laid to link the USA and the Great Britain passing through sea beds. These new methods were revolutionary in nature since they changed the communication industry completely in the entire globe at that time.

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.

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.

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.

As is evident, the communication industry has come a long way to get to its present status where it has literally reduced the world to a global village. This has been only possible because of the selfless and determined nature of the early scientists whose work was used as a basis of developing more sophisticated methods of communication.
