Telecom networks, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and enterprise networks, connect users, devices, and systems across long distances. These networks are composed of smaller interconnected networks, including fixed and mobile networks, and support various applications such as voice, data, and video. Over the years, the focus of these networks has shifted from speech operations to data communications, and the internet has become a significant part of the telecom landscape. Network engineers must understand these networks’ architecture, design, and implementation to effectively support their operation and development.

Telecom Expertise

Telecommunications expertise is a broad field involving studying and understanding various technologies and systems for transmitting information over long distances, typically using electromagnetic signals or waves. This can include technologies such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN), the traditional voice communication network used for telephone calls, and newer technologies such as the internet and cellular networks.

public switched telephone network (PSTN)

PSTN, also known as the plain old telephone service (POTS), is a circuit-switched network that uses physical copper or fiber-optic cables to connect telephone devices, such as landlines and fax machines. This type of network uses a series of switches and other equipment to establish a dedicated connection between two points, allowing the transmission of voice and other data in real time.

Circuit Switching

Circuit switching is a method of establishing a connection between two devices on a network. In a circuit-switched network, a dedicated communication path, or circuit, is established between the two devices for the duration of the connection. This circuit is reserved exclusively for the two devices to communicate and is not shared with other devices on the network. Circuit switching is used in technologies such as PSTN and older cellular networks.

Packet Switching

Packet switching transmits data across a network by breaking it into small; manageable units called packets. Each packet contains a small amount of data and a destination address, allowing it to be routed to its intended recipient. Packet switching allows multiple devices to communicate over a network simultaneously and is a crucial technology used in modern computer networks. Packets can be transmitted over various networks, including the Internet, local area networks (LAN), and wide area networks (WAN).

Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)

SONET, or Synchronous Optical Network, is a high-speed digital communication technology that transmits large amounts of data over long distances. It uses fiber-optic cables to transmit data at speeds up to 10 Gbps. SONET is commonly used in long-distance telecommunications networks, such as internet service providers (ISPs).

Signaling System 7 (SS7)

SS7, or Signaling System 7, is a signaling protocol used in telecommunications networks. It controls the setup and tear-down of calls and other communication sessions and provides additional services such as caller ID and call forwarding. SS7 is used in many different networks, including PSTN and cellular networks.

Cellular Systems

Cellular systems are wireless communication networks that use small, interconnected cells to provide coverage over a wide area. Each cell is served by a separate base station responsible for transmitting and receiving signals to and from mobile devices within its coverage area. The cells are typically arranged in a hexagonal pattern, with each base station covering a small portion of the overall area. As a mobile device moves from one cell to another, the call is handed off to the next base station, allowing the user to maintain a continuous connection. Cellular systems are widely used for mobile phone and data communications.
