telecommunication networks  

Définition

  • A telecommunications network is an electronic communication system that is structured in order for data, information, and messages to be passed from one location in the network to another over multiple links—transmission lines (copper wire, coaxial cable, optical fiber, and wireless connections, including via satellite) and through various nodes (generally computers). When telecommunication networks link people (or higher-level social systems such as work groups, organizations, or nations) as well as machines, they become social networks, or more precisely, computer-mediated social infrastructures.
