Here is a list of words that are commonly used in telecommunications:
Antenna: A word that is used in telecommunications to refer to a device or structure that is used for the transmission or collection of electromagnetic waves.
Facsimile: A mode of telecommunication that facilitates the transmission of fixed images to another party for reproduction in paper form.
Fiber Optics: An optical technology that is used in telecommunications to transmit light with the use of transparent fibers, such as plastic and glass.
Filter: In telecommunications, this is a device that only allows the transmission of part of the incident energy, so that the energy distribution of a spectrum can be changed.
Frequency: This term is used in telecommunications to refer to the number of events or cycles that occur within a certain timeframe.
inbound call center - Central locations receiving telephone communicaitons from multiple sources.
Intercom: A device that facilitates the telecommunication between two people within a certain area. It is commonly used in aircrafts, ships, tanks, and other places.
Interference: This is an occurrence in telecommunications that hinders the smooth transmission of desired signals. It is an external energy that can be caused by both natural and artificial factors.
Internet: A global interconnection that facilitates telecommunication among numerous networks that are run by governments, businesses, institutions, private groups, and individuals.
LAN / MAN / WAN: LAN refers to “local area network”, and it is a system that makes it possible for a group of people to telecommunicate or exchange data within a limited area. MAN stands for “metropolitan area network”, and it is an extended version of the LAN, with an area of coverage that is as large as a metropolitan. WAN is the acronym for “wide area network”, and it is a system that covers an entire nation or the whole world.
Modem: This is a device that functions to modulate and demodulate signals in telecommunications.
Modulation: This is a process or outcome in telecommunications that follows an informational signal to alter the characteristic of a carrier.
Multiplexing: A term used in telecommunications to refer to the putting together of two or more channels of information onto one common medium of transmission.
Networking: An act of interconnecting three or more entities for telecommunication.
PCS / UPT / Cellular Mobile: PCS stands for “personal communications service”, and it refers to an application that can combine personal mobility, terminal mobility, and management of service profile. On the other hand, UPT, which means “universal personal telecommunications”, allows personal mobility and management of service profile only. Cellular mobile is a system of mobile communications that combines traditional telephone switching and radio transmission to enable telecommunication among mobile users within a certain area.
Protocol: A set of conventions that governs the format and controls the interaction of functional units in a telecommunication system.
Radio: A form of telecommunication that functions through the radiation and modulation of electromagnetic waves.
Routing: This word is used to refer to the process of selecting a method or path for the setting up of telecommunication connections or the forwarding of messages.
Satellite: A device that is launched into space to enable advanced transmission of telecommunication and other signals.
Telegraphy: Telecommunication that transmits and reproduces text and images over a distance.
Telephony: A form of telecommunication that involves the transmission, reproduction, and reception of sounds.
Television: Telecommunication that enables the transmission of fleeting images of moving or fixed objects.
Traffic: Information that is being transferred on a telecommunication channel.
Transmission: The dispatching of signal, message, or information for reception in another place.
Video: A signal with luminance, synchronization, and color information that will present a visual image or a sequence of images when it is displayed on a certain device.
Waves: This is a term that refers to signals that are transmitted or received in the process of telecommunication.
