Telecommunication Standards

Telecommunication standards are agreed-upon guidelines that ensure devices and services can communicate effectively and reliably. They cover various aspects, such as protocols for data transmission, frequency use, and network architecture. These standards enable compatibility between different technologies and manufacturers, facilitating global communication—like making sure your smartphone works with various networks around the world. Organizations like the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) develop and maintain these standards, which help enhance safety, efficiency, and innovation in the telecommunications industry.
