In
the earlier days of the technology, the overall term to describe the whole
telephone system in action is telephony Victoria. The common name denotes the modern
system of sending and receiving voice over the wires and cables to many parts
of the world and makes them connected with each other.
When
radio was developed and used, the use of the wires and cables were reduced with
the use of communications by radio waves.
Interconnection
The big
and significant development then was that all the communications facilities and
technologies (including those that are still using wires and cables) were all
integrated and interconnected into a virtual unified system.
When
the computer and digitization took over most of the existing technologies, the
system’s use had expanded the materials transmitted and received other than the
voice (fax, video, graphics).
Phone system
In
the early days, after Bell’s patent was enforced, people from distant places
were able to communicate with one another using the medium of voice. The system
had overrun the slow postal system of letter-sending. It also superseded the
expensive telegrams.
After
the start of being able to call only in limited quantities, the telephone
exchange made the life better after it was expanded and more people were able
to talk to one another. Today, anyone from any corner of the planet can call
and talk to anyone.
Today’s systems
Today’s
systems are now using digital technology in providing the same services. The
old analog phone systems are still in use in some other places in the world.
Technology however has provided the means to convert these analog signals into
digital.
The
technological advance had generally reduced communications costs, aside from
improving the quality of the services, especially the voice. ISDN allows data
sending fast over telephone wires. This was only superseded when the digital services
became operational following the later IP protocol.
Computer integration
Inn
the 80s, computer integration gave much sophistication to the telephony Victoria services. The computer initiated and controlled such actions as sending and
receiving voice, fax and data calls, including caller identification, and the
phone directory services.
Today’s
primary phone service providers are now offering information services like
automatic number identification which is the main difference between the CTI
(computer technology integration) services and plain call switching.
The
DNIS (dialed number identification service) also brought real value in the use
of phones, whether for business or as home phones. It does not only standardize
phones, it also lowers costs in the linking of the calls.
Modern touch
The
current system in use today in telephony Victoria has already transformed itself into a
multi-functional and highly-integrated environments suited for offices. Some of
today’ entry level PBX systems have functions that were found only in their
enterprise systems some few years ago.
Today,
unified communications features (like voice to email, cellular extensions, and
IP desktop integration and VoIP capabilities) have already become the new
service and functional standards.
The
use of the Internet today in lieu of traditional phones company systems is
beginning to populated and join the other established systems.
