The telecommunications ( abrév. fam. télécoms ), étymologiquement: Communication S remote, is not regarded a Science, but as Technologie S and Technique S applied.

One understands by telecommunications all Transmission, emission and reception remotely, of Signe S, Signaux, writings, Image S, his S or Renseignement S of all Nature S, by Electric wire, Radioélectricité, Optique or other systems electromagnetic S (definition of OFTEL, today Ofcom).

The word telecommunication was used for the first time in 1904 by Edouard Estaunié, Engineer with the Poste S and Télégraphe S, director of 1901 to 1910 of the vocational school of the Stations and Télégraphes (ancestor of the 3Ecole Nationale Sup3erieure of telecommunications), in its practical Traité of electric telecommunication .

History

With the the Middle Ages: birth of the Station to the letters and appearance of the messengers. With the XVIIe and 18th centuries, development of the offices of Station. In 1830: the Distribution of the Courrier in the Campagne S. the first Timbre-poste French appears in 1849. Modernization settles, the technical Progrès make it possible to modernize the services: routing by Coach S-station, Distribution with Bicycle, Use of the Plane and the Automobile thereafter. The Uniforme S of the post-office employees evolve/move. The first Machine to obliterate Daguin is brought into service in 1881.

The telecommunications begin in France with the telegraph (optical) air from the frêres Chappe (1792). In the years 1870, Bell invents the Téléphone.

In 1878, the Station and the Télégraphe form nothing any more but only one administration. In the middle of the 19th century the electric telegraph appears. Born with the century, T.S.F (wireless telegraphy) is placed under the Tutelle of the P.T.T. (Station, Telegraph, Telephone) until 1939. After the war of 1939-1945, the Téléimprimeur S make their appearance in the Entreprise S, the Communication S remote accelerate.

Today

This sector knows a strong growth since the years 1980, thanks to the technological advancements made in the scientific disciplines whose this sector is the crossroads:

He saw and sees still the standardization and the standardization of the protocols - UIT, ECMA, IETF, 3GPP - allowing the interfunctioning of the products whatever is their manufacturer. Let us note that the purpose of commercial battles are only to impose Standard S, whether they are software or simply on the level of the Connectique. They always do not have as a horizon the first satisfaction of the customer. Thus, the sector of telecommunications evolves/moves very quickly. It is sometimes difficult, following the example world of the Ordinateur S, to find itself there.

Radio regulation

The sector of telecommunications was historically related to the public power of each State and exploited by this State. Since the years 1980-1990, a world movement of deregulation (or deregulation) of the sector of telecommunications intervened.

To optimize the use of the frequency spectrum and to limit the interferences between systems, the states agree to the international level:

  • CEPT European of the Posts and Telecommunication: on the level of Europe widened in Russia (Zone 1);

  • UIT - International union of Telecommunications (UNO arranges): with the international level.

Revisions of the " Payment of Radiocommunications" or " RR" are envisaged within the framework of the CMR Mondiale of the Radiocommunications which take place all the 3 to 4 years: last conferences: Geneva, 1995 (CMR-95) Geneva, 1997 (CMR-97) Istanbul, 2000 (CMR-2000) Geneva, 2003 (CMR-03)

The next expiry is fixed in October 2007 at the time of the CMR-07 at Geneva.

For France, the official position is determined by the ANFR (National agency of the Frequencies) which, in these conferences, represents the French affectataires such as:

  • the ARCEP - Regulatory agency of the electronic communications and the stations which organizes the spectrum for the civil needs;
  • AC Civil for the needs for the civil aeronautics;
  • the National Military BMNF of the Frequencies for the needs for national defense.
Decisions of the " RR" are declined at the French level in the TNRBF (National Table of Distribution of the Wavebands). It specifies in particular the bands and radio operator services managed by different the affectaires and defines the priorities between them. The last version of the TNRBF is the edition 2004, it is available at the ANFR on written request (ANFR, 78, avenue du Général de Gaulle, BP400, 94704 Cedex Houses-Alfort).

By country

Morocco

Agency National of Regulation of Telecommunication (ANRT ) The National agency of Regulation of Telecommunications, ANRT, is a public corporation instituted near the Prime Minister, equipped with the legal entity and financial autonomy.

Since its creation, the ANRT works with the progressive liberalization of the sector. The grant of second license GSM for more than one billion dollar initiated in 1999 the process. Other licenses concerning technologies GMPCS, VSAT, Fixes, 3G and of resource sharing radios (3RP) were then allotted. The introduction of competition and the privatization of the historical operator allowed a significant development of the Moroccan market as well in term of consumption as in term of dynamism of the offer. Indeed, these actions allowed a strong progression of the number of mobile subscribers, which was multiplied by 30 in 4 years (thus allowing penetration rate telephony to pass from 6% in 1997 to more than 35% in 2004), and the widening of the cover of the Moroccan population, which currently reaches meadows of 95%.

Three operators currently share the Moroccan market: Maroc Telecom (IAM), Meditel and, since 2007, Wana (e.g. Morocco Connect). Maroc Telecom is the historical operator resulting from the scission with the Moroccan Post office (PM), Méditel is the made second, finally Wana, last arrived has an infrastructure NGN pre IMS, entirely based on the protocol SIP for the heart of network and CDMA for the access.

Bearing file on the talk

Algeria

In Algeria, it is an government agency ARPT, which manages the licenses of telecommunication. The historical operator profits automatically from all licenses (GSM, WLL). The private operators must as for them, to buy, at the time of auctions, these licenses which are finally granted to highest offerer. Currently, there exist two private operators: the first operator is the leader on the market Djezzy (Orascom Telecom) and second is Nedjma (Wataniya Telecom) and an historical operator Mobilis (Algerie Telecom).

France

The France is an important actor in the research and the development in telecommunications with a historical hearth located in Brittany. For example, the Minitel was developed with the National center of studies of telecommunications (Hundred, now France Telecom R & D), with Lannion, and the common Center of studies of remote transmission and telecommunications (CCETT), with Rennes, the beginning of the year 1980. The Enseignement is a strong point of telecommunications in France, to see Enseignement of telecommunications in the schools of engineers in France.

Tunisia

The Tunisia created technopolises and research centres such as center CERT and the institutes of telecommunications like the Institute of higher learning of the data processing and technologies of the communication and the University of the communications of Tunis.

In Tunisia, there exist three telecommunications operators: Tunisia Telecom, Tunisiana and Divona Telecom (first telecommunications operator by satellite in Tunisia).
