Telecommunication Engineering is the field of emerging technologies. The widely spread area of network today is because of the miracles of Telecom. Telecom engineering is about the study of communication over far distances that is wired or wireless. Today the technologies that are being optimized are way better use of communication. Before, it was not so easy to communicate.
With the evolution of highly efficient communicational technologies, our world began to turn into a global village; and it continued to shrink further in terms of communication and connectivity, with the introduction of wireless systems. These systems further developed into higher GENERATIONS of technology, tremendously improving our methods of personal and professional interactions with the world.
The prospering field of Telecom Engineering provides the latest generations over which data rate for any signal being given gets improved. Also the bandwidth utilization is being observed as it is the most important factor for communication over far distances. Some of the earliest ways of communication are GSM, GPRS, EDGE network and now the latest ones are WIMAX, 3GPP, 3.5G, 4G and LTE.
At first GSM was simply introduced for the easy communication that is Global System for Mobile communication. There were some trade-off about transferring data rapidly over mobiles through wireless network, then GPRS came enhancing the field, that is General Packet Radio Service, and is considered the way better and faster then GSM, and is still being used. Then further technologies came giving the better way to communicate and more reliable systems.
Telecommunication is a vast field that is related to electronics engineering as well. In fact Telecom engineering is a part of Electronics engineering. Without Electronics engineering one cannot study Telecommunication.
Telecommunication field is enhancing rapidly in the prosperous countries like Canada and USA.
The latest LTE has revolutionized the field, where bandwidth criteria are getting better.
