Massachusetts Telecommunications Since 2018

Communications at the speed of business.

Today companies and customers alike need speed.  It didn't use to be that way.  Telecommunications past has come a long way.

Massachusetts Customers

Some information I know about Massachusetts is I believe the state was admitted or ratified to the United States around or about 'February 6, 1788'.  Massachusetts is located around latitude '42.407211' and longitude of '-71.382439' and has a population of roughly '7,029,917 million'.  If I remember correctly the capital is 'Boston' and the largest city is 'Boston'. 

Communication Methods Come and Go

We are many years past the party line method where neighborhoods shared a single party line.  Today, the fixed-line telephones in most residential homes (that still have landlines) are analog - that is, the speaker's voice directly determines the signal's voltage.  Although short-distance calls may be handled from end-to-end as analog signals, increasingly telephone service providers are transparently converting the signals to digital for transmission before converting them back to analog for reception.

The advantage of this is that digitized voice data can travel side-by-side with data from the Internet and can be perfectly reproduced in long distance communication (as opposed to analog signals that are inevitably impacted by noise).

Mobile Phones

Mobile phones have had a significant impact on telephone networks.  Mobile phone subscriptions now outnumber fixed-line subscriptions in many markets.  Sales of mobile phones in 2005 totaled 816.6 million with that figure being almost equally shared amongst the markets of Asia/Pacific (204 m), Western Europe (164 m), CEMEA (Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa) (153.5 m), North America (148 m) and Latin America (102 m).

In terms of new subscriptions over the five years from 1999, Africa has outpaced other markets with 58.2% growth.  Increasingly these phones are being serviced by systems where the voice content is transmitted digitally such as GSM or W-CDMA with many markets choosing to depreciate analog systems such as AMPS.

If at any point you decide to reach to me just know the area codes I am familiar with for Massachusetts are '339, 351, 413, 508, 617, 774, 781, 857, 978'.  For Telecommunications assistance you will find my rates very reasonable for Massachusetts.  Now just keep in mind my time zone is 'Eastern Standard Time (EST)' and I know the time zones in Massachusetts are 'Eastern Standard Time (EST)' in case you wish to call me.  Anyway let me continue.

Telecommunications Growth

There have also been dramatic changes in telephone communication behind the scenes.  Starting with the operation of TAT-8 in 1988, the 1990s saw the widespread adoption of systems based on optic fibres.  The benefit of communicating with optic fibers is that they offer a drastic increase in data capacity.  TAT-8 itself was able to carry 10 times as many telephone calls as the last copper cable laid at that time and today's optic fibre cables are able to carry 25 times as many telephone calls as TAT-8.  This increase in data capacity is due to several factors: First, optic fibres are physically much smaller than competing technologies.  Second, they do not suffer from crosstalk which means several hundred of them can be easily bundled together in a single cable.  Lastly, improvements in multiplexing have led to an exponential growth in the data capacity of a single fibre.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode

Assisting communication across many modern optic fibre networks is a protocol known as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).  The ATM protocol allows for the side-by-side data transmission mentioned in the second paragraph.  It is suitable for public telephone networks because it establishes a pathway for data through the network and associates a traffic contract with that pathway.

You know, I don't make it out to Massachusetts much but I would like to see the 'Chickadee' state bird.  I am a little familiar with the Massachusetts 'Mayflower' state flower as well.  However, I do not know much about Massachusetts's state tree the 'American Elm'.  Fishing is fun to me perhaps I would like reeling in the Massachusetts 'Cod' state fish.  Anyway, sorry I went off topic.  Let me continue.

The traffic contract is essentially an agreement between the client and the network about how the network is to handle the data; if the network cannot meet the conditions of the traffic contract it does not accept the connection.  This is important because telephone calls can negotiate a contract so as to guarantee themselves a constant bit rate, something that will ensure a caller's voice is not delayed in parts or cut-off completely.  There are competitors to ATM, such as Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS), that perform a similar task and are expected to supplant ATM in the future.
