Telecommunication Protocols

Telecommunication protocols are sets of rules and standards that govern how data is transmitted over communication networks. They ensure that devices can communicate effectively, regardless of their manufacturer or technology. For example, when you send a text message or browse the internet, protocols like TCP/IP dictate how the information is broken down, sent, and reassembled. These protocols help maintain the integrity, reliability, and security of the data being shared, allowing different devices and networks to work together seamlessly. In essence, they are the language through which our electronic devices communicate.
