Technological Convergence Of Internet And Telephone

The fixed telecommunications infrastructure is designed to transfer voice signals remotely by electrical signals, but also carries data. Meanwhile, the mobile phone is a telecommunications network that transmits voice and data remotely via radio waves. The technological convergence of fixed telephone networks, mobile phones and the Internet leads to previously separate technologies now share resources and interact with each other create new possibilities.

Landline

The wireline is conventional telephony, a telecommunications network designed to transfer long distance voice signals through electrical signals.

The works by wireline PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network), which supports infrastructure for connection between telephones located at fixed locations, developed for transmitting audio signals but may also carry data.

Fixed telephony provides many services such as receive and make international and national phone calls, connection to mobile telephone networks, data connection, operator or telephone support through additional features such as call waiting, call forwarding, voice mail or information services.

Mobile Phones

Mobile telephony, also called mobile phone, is a mobile telecommunications network that transmits voice and data remotely using wireless technologies, through radio waves.

The mobile phone network is interconnected to the fixed public telephone network PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) by switching exchanges, allowing communication between mobile computers and phones landline and between portable telephone terminals.

Internet

Now mind, have a permanent Internet connection is an absolute necessity for most people, businesses and institutions, because of the need to be constantly connected and the growing importance of the Internet and social networks.

Internet provides users with many services, such as remote file query hypertext (WWW, World Wide Web), electronic mail (email), file transfer (FTP, P2P), online conversations (IRC), the instant messaging, multimedia content delivery, VoIP telephony, television, IPTV, video conferencing, remote access devices (SSH, Telnet) or online games.

Technological convergence in telecommunications

As a result of the development and popularization of Internet, is taking place in the world of telecommunications and information technology convergence process consisting of the interconnection of computer technology, information, media, communications networks, Internet and telephone.

Thus, previously separate technologies such as voice telephony, data transmission, productivity applications and multimedia content transmission, now share resources and interact with each other creating new possibilities.

This technological convergence in telecommunications affects all facets of society, including businesses, institutions, businesses, governments, art, journalism, health or education, which must continually adapt to major changes in traditional patterns of doing things that Internet and ICT are driving.
