 | | The telephone lines used include the ordinary open wire lines, lead-sheathed cables coaxial cable, which is virtually immune to external interference, consists of two concentric conductors separated by an insulator; the current in the inner conductor draws the current in the outer conductor toward the center rather than letting it dissipate outwards. | | | Cellular telephone cellular telephone or cellular radio, telecommunications system in which a portable or mobile radio transmitter and receiver, or "telephone," is linked via microwave radio frequencies to base transmitter and receiver stations that connect the user to a conventional telephone network. | | | Telephone companies have explored partnerships with media conglomerates for integrating access to cable television, fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. |

| | Telephone exchange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A telephone switch is the brains of an exchange. | | | Telephone switches are usually owned and operated by a telephone service provider or "carrier" and located in their premises, but sometimes individual businesses or private commercial buildings will house their own switch, called a PBX, or Private Branch Exchange. | | | The local exchange automatically senses an off hook (tip) telephone condition, provides dial tone to that phone, receives the pulses or DTMF tones generated by the phone, and then completes a connection to the called phone within the same exchange or to another distant exchange. |

| | Shimomura's monitoring efforts enabled investigators to watch as the intruder commandeered telephone company switching centers, stole computer files from Motorola, Apple Computer and other companies, and copied 20,000 credit-card account numbers from a commercial computer network used by some of the computer world's wealthiest and technically savviest people. | | | Over the next 48 hours, as the FBI sent in a surveillance team from Quantico, Va., obtained warrants and prepared for an arrest, cellular telephone technicians from Sprint Corp. monitored the electronic activities of the man they believed to be Mitnick. | | | Hacking into the long-distance network, the intruder was connecting a computer to various dial-in sites to elude detection. |

| | Entropy Gradient Reversals - The Rise of the Stupid Network |
| | Telephone networks have been designed for optimal use of scarce resources. | | | Telephone companies could do it too, but it is unlikely as long as their senior managers prefer to talk with lawyers, regulators, consultants and financiers more than with experts in their own employ. | | | Many are also hobbled by less conscious telephone company mental models of "communications," "technology," and "customer needs." While these people may realize that the old ways are becoming obsolete, they live in a world conditioned by an encompassing, arcane legacy that only remembers "rational," incremental change. |

| | Telephone tapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The telephone tap or wire tap received its name because historically, the monitoring connection was applied to the wires of the telephone line of the person who was being monitored and drew off or tapped a small amount of the electrical signal carrying the conversation. | | | If the tap is implemented at a digital switch, the switching computer simply copies the digitized bits that represent the phone conversation to a second line and it is impossible to tell whether a line is being tapped. | | | A more modern alternative is to use telephone recording devices connected to computers, such as PhoneValet Message Center. |

| | COMPUTER TELEPHONE INTERFACE |
| | The final outcome of this project, which I would like to refer to as the Computer Telephone Interface (C.T.I.), is a means of simplifying the interface between a host computer and an ordinary telephone set. | | | The Telephone Adapter which consists of a speaker, a microphone and a relay is connected to J2 of the D.A.S. Only six conductors are required to allow for full use of the telephone adapter. | | | The fact that ordinary Touch-Tone telephone sets are in common use all around the U.S. and that they are capable of functioning as limited computer terminals, make the implementation of a system that allows for a telephone set to become a computer terminal very attractive. |
