In the 20th century, global modernization and development would never have happened without telecommunications . Man’s wish to communicate over great distances with great haste was the driving force behind its development.
Since the inception of distance communication, there have been many forms of contact and information transfer that have evolved from smoke signals, horns, flags, and drumbeats of old. The discovery of electricity has made distance communication a lot more sophisticated, from primitive audio and visual means to electrical transmission and digital manipulation of light and sound. Nowadays, people can communicate with each other using the full digital experience: audio, visual, full color, and stereo sound. In the future, we will be able to send not only noise and graphics, but we will be able to send messages utilizing all five senses.
The internet boom of the 21st century only made telecommunications easier. People began to exchange knowledge, share information, perform banking, pay bills, and shop all within a tap of a small screen. Until today, telecommunications companies continued to innovate and discover new ways on how to make communicating even easier as it is now.
However, no matter how much improvement and progress we reach so far as telecommunications go, there will always be a few complications here and there. Consumers’ demands constantly change, and the telecommunications industry is no exception. On top of the existing challenges came the COVID-19 global crisis. With a variety of telecommunications services being offered, operational processes became complex. Financial overload came with handling increasingly multifaceted procedures that require more tools and resources. Aside from all the mentioned hitches, customers also demand a quicker and more efficient customer experience. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, employees were also obligated to work at home, and with the emergence of new technology, data security has also become a challenge.
The issues surrounding telecommunications at the moment are currently being resolved by innovation and resiliency. Companies needed to take action, and they took action fast. Some businesses embraced customer experience automation through chatbots to handle the customer load, while others used live chats to handle complex issues. Even more have utilized social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to reach out to a wider customer base. With the improvement of telecommunications services, companies will then have to ramp up their sales, which brings us to another telecommunications challenge, settled by agility, teamwork, and inventiveness.
