Telecommunications refers to communications over long distances, and covers all forms of distance communications including radio, telegraphy, television, telephony, data communications, and computer networking. In the past, telecommunications and computer networks were considered separate technologies, and many businesses had both a telecom and an information systems department. Today however, the two technologies have overlapped and merged considerably. Consequently many organizations have either merged the two departments, or at least placed them under the same umbrella. Telecommunications consultants are experts in the technology of telecommunications, and can provide businesses with guidance and support in addressing their voice and data communications needs.
