Civil communication systems

Civil communication systems are the methods and infrastructure used to enable information exchange among people and organizations in everyday life. They include telephone networks, internet services, radio and television broadcasts, and emergency alert systems. These systems rely on a combination of hardware—like cables, towers, and satellites—and software protocols that transmit voice, data, images, and video reliably and securely. Their purpose is to facilitate timely, clear, and efficient communication across distances, supporting personal interactions, business operations, public safety, and government functions. Essentially, they are the backbone that connects communities and facilitates societal functions.
