Telecommunication

Oct 29, 1869

this this about the telecommunication cable that was built across the whole ocean.Since communications in only one direction is ineffective, telecommunication systems can handle two-way communications. There are essentially four types of telecom copper cables, all of which are manufactured by General Cable.

first dial up

1965

A dial-up is a connection that is established using a modem. To make the dial-up connection, the modem must be connected to an active phone line that is not in use. When connecting the modem will pick up the phone and dial a number that is attached to another computer. After the connection is made the computer can check e-mail, browse the Internet, and share files.

Packets

1967

On the Internet, the network breaks an e-mail message into parts of a certain size in bytes. These are the packets. Each packet carries the information that will help it get to its destination -- the sender's IP address,

Arpanet

1967

ARPANET was the network that became the basis for the Internet. Based on a concept first published in 1967, ARPANET was developed under the direction of the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency .ARPANET was an end-product of a decade of computer-communications developments spurred by military concerns that the Soviets might use their jet bombers to launch surprise nuclear attacks against the United States.

first email

1971

Email began as an experiment to see if two computers could exchange a message.That was the sort of mechanism you had to go through to leave a message, so everyone latched onto the idea that you could leave messages on the computer.

first internet provider

1974

The first ISP is widely believed to be Telenet, which was the first commercial version of ARPANET introduced in 1974. Internet service provider (ISP), company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. In addition to providing access to the Internet, ISPs may also provide software packages (such as browsers), e-mail accounts, and a personal Web site or home page.

first optics cable

1977

In 1975 Corning Glass invented the first viable fiber optic cable. Fast forward and starting in about 2000 companies began building massive fiber optic infrastructure. The first step was to use the fiber for major backbone traffic. The advantages of longer distances without degradation and the size of the fiber compared to copper were major factors. According to Mary Bellis on About.com more than 80% of long distance calls are carried in some part over fiber today.

first router

1981

The first multiprotocol routers were independently created by staff researchers at MIT and Stanford in 1981; the Stanford router was done by William Yeager, and the MIT one by Noel Chiappa; both were also based on PDP-11s. Virtually all networking now uses TCP/IP, but multiprotocol routers are still manufactured.

TCP

1982

TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent

DNS

1983

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. Humans access information online through domain names, like nytimes.com or espn.com. Web browsers interact through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load Internet resources.

registered domains

1985

a domain name registrar is an organization that manages the reservation of internet domain names. A domain name registrar must be accredited by a generic top level domain registry or a country code top level domain registry

NSFNET

1986

The National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET) was a program of coordinated, evolving projects sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) beginning in 1985 to promote advanced research and education networking in the United States

develoment of HTML

1990

First developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, HTML is short for Hypertext Markup Language. ... Every web page you see on the Internet is written using one version of HTML code or another
