You have to call your brother from the next room or you have to talk to your father, who is on a business trip in another country, all you need to do is, use one of the services provided by telecom industry.
Telecom is a general term used for Telecommunication Company. It is abbreviation for the term telecommunication. Telecom industry is an industry, which provides services to transfer information in form of data from one place to another through various transmission devices. Previously, these services were provided by government sector but then telecom industry was privatized. Privatization of telecom industry excelled its performance and grew competition by removing monopoly.
Top telecom companies of India includes
Bharti Airtel
Reliance communications
Idea cellular
Tata communications
Tata Docomo
Spice communications

Vodafone Essar, etc
Due to congestion and privatization of telecom industry requirement of a telecom regulating authority was felt so, in late 90s TRAI i.e. telecom regulatory authority of India was set up to regulate the telecom sector smoothly and hassle free. In India the regulating department for telecoms is TRAI i.e. telecom regulatory authority of India
Within the time period of three years from 2007 to 2009 telecom sector showed unexpectedly better results from telecom industry, which was lowest call rates, cheapest colored cell phones and fastest sale of mobile phones. All these changes accelerated the growth of one of the fastest growing sector in India.
Telecom industry provides us very important requirements like telephone, radio, television and internet. Technologies used by telecom industries in India includes GSM i.e. global system for mobile communication, CDMA i.e. code division multiple access, PMRTS i.e. public mobile radio trunking services, and WLL i.e. wireless local loop.
The latest trend in telecom industry is MNP i.e. mobile number portability. It is a service that enables mobile users to retain their number even after changing their service providers. As the telecom industry is broadening day by day so the complaints against these private service providers are also increasing day by day.
Now with the use of mobile number portability one can keep the same number but may change service provider. Thus by switching their service providers the customers can switch to better service provider and can get rid of the old and improperly working service provider without changing their number. Telecom industry goes through several changes and modification due to ever changing and improving technology.
Employment rate in telecom is expected to reduce to nine percent from eleven percent in next few years. And the reason will be improvement in technology and devices, which will result in more automation and less manual help requirement. The industries promote themselves on the basis of social relations and staying connected with your friends and family.

Comcast Cable Blurs Boundaries Between Different Telecommunications Services
Because most people deal with Comcast Cable only for their cable television service, the company is most associated with cable television. However, though Comcast is the nation’s leading cable television company, it also offers its customers many other telecommunications options. These include such services as phone service and high speed Internet, which are delivered in the same high quality associated with its cable programming. All of the services together create a convenient way for customers to get their basic telecommunications needs through one company.
Cable television through Comcast is renowned for its quality and selection. There are many programming package options that all offer On Demand programming, over 45 channels of digital music, and local channels. At the entry-level of programming packages, the Enhanced Cable with On Demand package offers a wide variety of channels with all of the aforementioned features and benefits. The next level is the Digital Classic programming package, which, in addition to all the features of the smaller package, also has over 200 digital television channels. At the On Demand Silver Plus package level, the selection increases even more with thirty extra channels including your selection of one of the premium movie channels like HBO, Starz, Showtime, The Movie Channel, or Cinemax. If you want another premium movie channel, the On Demand Gold package is a good choice because it offers two of these channels, plus all the benefits of the Silver level. For the movie lover who wants the most choices, the On Demand Platinum Plus level is the favored package with its inclusion of all six premium movie channels.
With any of these Comcast packages, even the entry level ones, a digital receiver is also included. The fact that only digital receivers and programming are offered ensures the best quality television and the most convenience for the viewer. Digital television is worlds ahead of analog television in terms of the features it can offer and the quality of the viewing experience. With digital cable, features like interactive on-screen program guides and Parental Controls allow viewers to have the most control over their television.

Download speeds can be over 100 times as fast as a dial up connection, making it easy and quick to get information and entertainment online.

This ensures the maximum convenience and ease of use for online interactions and eliminates the fear of missing important phone calls while being online.
With a wide variety of services and many benefits, Comcast is a good choice for a cable company to consolidate all your entertainment and telecommunications needs. The current Comcast promotions are terrific. It is time to switch to the best cable company with the best cable deals.
Voip – Voice Over Internet Protocol And Telecommunications
VoIP is probably the least understood telecom subject – even among dealers. So – here is a quick primer to get you up to speed.
Today, commercially available VoIP comes in five (5) basic flavors:
1. VoIP Dial Tone
2. VoIP SIP Trunking
3. VoIP PBX Gateways
4. VoIP Extension Phones
5. VoIP to the PC
VoIP Dial Tone:
This is what most people mean when they say “Does this phone system support VoIP?” Companies like Vonage, Packet-8 and Lingo offer VoIP phone service that competes with local and long distance phone companies. They will gladly tell you that their service is not usually dependent on what type of PBX you use, but you have to ask. In fact, you could hook up a $10 single line telephone to their service and it would work.
To the PBX, it’s just another POTS line (Plain Old Telephone Service). There are many companies that claim to have a new PBX that work with these VoIP lines and suggest that you switch over to their hardware. Unfortunately, they fail to tell you that it is totally unnecessary since these circuits will work with any phone system or any single line telephone. Before they get connected to your PBX or home telephone, they have been converted to look like regular analog lines.
VoIP SIP Trunking:
SIP Trunking is Dial Tone that is obtained from an ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Provider). Instead of breaking the circuit out into analog channels, it stays digitally packetized from the ITSP’s Central Office to your equipment. SIP Trunking is obtained using a broadband Internet connection that plugs into your PBX. Typically, each voice channel (also referred to as a ‘session’) requires between 60k and 85k of bandwidth, depending on the codec employed. SIP is an acronym for Session Initiation Protocol.
The service is usually sold through Telephone Equipment Vendors such as KX-TD.COM because of the initial complexities of its one-time setup. This is fairly new technology and it is rapidly growing in popularity due to the low monthly costs. Currently, Panasonic supports SIP Trunking on all of their KX-TDE IP PBX’s, all of their KX-NCP Series IP Converged PBX’s and the new KX-TDA50G. SIP WILL be the dominant technology going forward.
VoIP PBX Gateways:
These are essentially “H.323 Tie Lines” between PBX systems. An example of this would be a company that has multiple locations and the desire to connect them together to achieve free intercom calling. There are several ways to do this from something as simple as D-to-A Converters (FXO & FXS Cards) in your router. Most advanced IP PBX’s actually allow you to install special VoIP Gateway cards, which in turn connect across the Internet to other PBX’s with the same card to create Tie Lines.
The advantage to this is that it sends other call information, such as the extension name and number, lamp information, distinctive ringing, etc. through the gateway. For added security, VoIP Gateways from Panasonic operate within a VPN (Virtual Private Network) or across Frame Relay Network. Panasonic KX-TDA, KX-TDE and KX-NCP Series systems all have this option.
VoIP Extension Phones:
VoIP Extension Phones are becoming very popular. Today, there are three (3) types of VoIP Extension Phones, (i) Single Line Analog sets, (ii) Fully Integrate Multi-button Key Sets and (iii) Soft Phones. Single Line Analog sets are also called “dumb phones” since they do not digitally pass information between the phone and the PBX. These are like the old fashion phones that we all had in our homes in the 70’s & 80’s. Fully Integrated Multi-button Key Sets are “smart.” They look and act exactly like your wired desk set.
The difference is that the wired desk set is near the PBX and the VoIP Phones can be half way around the world. Instead of a wire, they use the Internet, along with some sophisticated built-in software to make the connection. Panasonic remote IP Phone users can access every feature that a wired phone user can. For added security, VoIP Gateways from Panasonic operate within a Hardware VPN (Virtual Private Network) or across Frame Relay Network.
Soft Phones are communication software applications that appear on a PC or laptop screen as PBX extensions. Soft Phones typically operate in a less secure environment, such as a Software VPN or no VPN at all. Panasonic KX-TDA, KX-TDE and KX-NCP Series systems all have fully integrated multi-button IP phone options and the ability to use Soft Phones.
VoIP to the PC:
VoIP to the PC technology relies on processing power from a Personal Computer or other external processor. Unless you are willing to dedicate a PC for each conversation, this is not a wise choice (yet). VoIP to the PC would be services such as Skype. Skype is in the process of Beta Testing their SIP product with several PBX systems, including Panasonic PBX systems. This is an emerging technology and has some merit – especially internationally.
We will continue to keep an eye on these developments and when Skype has demonstrated that they can adapt to the needs of commercial users, we will reclassify them as a VoIP SIP Trunking product. There are other more gimmicky companies in the VoIP to the PC category such as Magic Jack. We do not consider Magic Jack to be a viable product for anyone.
Breaking Into The Competitive Field Of Telecommunications Management
The importance of telecommunications in the modern world cannot be overstated. In every aspect of our lives, telecommunications technology allows us to live safer lives and have the convenience of communications with anyone at anytime. Busy professionals can avoid being stuck at their desk, performing tasks and errands while speaking via cellular phone with colleagues. A parent can keep in touch with their kids using telecommunications technology and children can learn more through the use of computer applications created by telecommunications companies. For telecommunications professionals worldwide, there job is more than just selling a product to companies. It is making people’s lives easier one phone and computer at a time.
Because of the importance of telecommunications everywhere in the world, there is a high demand for telecommunications workers. Perhaps the most gruelling job in telecommunications is that of the telecommunications manager. These managers have to contend with a variety of clients, deadlines, and technological problems that can make for a harrowing day on the job. Managers have to consult with technical staff in order to develop improved technologies while keeping an eye on the marketing aspects of a new product.
The high demands on a telecommunications manager means that these positions require a highly skilled worker. Managers need to possess a range of managerial, technical, and interpersonal skills that are found within very few telecommunications workers. As such, companies in telecommunications have a difficult time finding the right managers from in-house. Engineers, technicians, and other professionals interested in management positions need to market their experience and potential in such a way as to knock down these barriers to employment.
Some professionals decide to go it alone and find a telecommunications management job on their own. While job sites, university services, and other connections to the industry may be helpful in getting a few interviews, those who look on their own often end up frustrated. For this reason, aspiring telecommunications managers should work with a recruiting agency.
Recruiting agencies have the exclusive connection to management positions that can provide lucrative financial and intrinsic rewards. Agencies work with major telecommunications companies and other firms that need managers to contend with cellular, Internet, and other technological woes. These agencies will help even the most polished professional learn how to adapt to a high pressure job, teaching organizational and motivational tools necessary in the workplace. For telecommunications workers, there is no clearer path to management jobs than a recruiting agency.
