The engineering telecommunications is a field of engineering that is responsible for solving problems arising in the transmission and reception of signals or networking. It is the specialty of application of telecommunication, a term that is associated with remote communication, which is generally through the propagation of electromagnetic waves.
The way a telecommunications system is structured is as follows:
Issuer of the information: is the one who speaks. He is the one who transforms and encodes the messages, until they become a physical phenomenon.
The medium or channel: it is the way through which this signal is broadcast.
The receiver: is the one who has the task of detecting the signal, restoring it and decoding it, in order to extract the information.
Within this whole process there will always be the possibility of an error appearing, the function of telecommunications engineering is to reduce errors.
A telecommunications engineer is a professional trained to plan, design, project and calculate network systems and services for the generation and transmission of tele information. In addition to this, he has knowledge in the area of economics and administration that enables him to direct, regulate and dispose of telecommunications services. Its functions include designing new communication systems, as well as managing and maintaining television, fixed and mobile telephony networks and equipment.
Another feature of telecommunications has been the increasing computerization of human activity, allowing the growth of other branches of human knowledge.
This area of engineering had its beginnings from the creation of telegraphy and from there it has evolved with the appearance of radio and television, mobile telephony, telematic networks, internet, etc. Currently, and thanks to the development that the computer science area has had, telecommunications engineering has had an important boom, creating new branches focused on digital systems such as telematics and mobile telephony.
In short, telecommunications generate a great impact within people's daily lives and it is shown in the way in which the way of communicating and relating to other people evolves. And it is that thanks to telecommunications, people can exchange communications by sending and receiving documents, carry out work that does not require the presence of the individual, carry out long-distance and real-time tests or consultancies, are some of so many benefits that telecommunication offers.
