(foldoc) | telephony
Communication, often two-way, of spoken
information, by means of electrical signals carried by wires
or radio waves. The term was used to indicate transmission of
the voice, as opposed to telegraphy (done in Morse code
and usually called "continuous wave" or CW transmission),
radio teletypewriter (RTTY) transmission (also called FSK for
"Frequency Shift Keying", the modulation scheme used by such
machines), and later, facimile.

Wireless telephony
(gcide) | Wireless \Wire"less\, a.
Having no wire; specif. (Elec.), designating, or pertaining
to, a method of telegraphy, telephony, or other information
transmisssion, in which the messages, data, etc., are
transmitted through space by electric waves; as, a wireless
message; a wireless network; a wireless keyboard.
[Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]
Wireless telegraphy or Wireless telegraph (Elec.), any
system of telegraphy employing no connecting wire or wires
between the transmitting and receiving stations.
Note: Although more or less successful researchers were made
on the subject by Joseph Henry, Hertz, Oliver Lodge,
and others, the first commercially successful system
was that of Guglielmo Marconi, patented in March, 1897.
Marconi employed electric waves of high frequency set
up by an induction coil in an oscillator, these waves
being launched into space through a lofty antenna. The
receiving apparatus consisted of another antenna in
circuit with a coherer and small battery for operating
through a relay the ordinary telegraphic receiver. This
apparatus contains the essential features of all the
systems now in use.
Wireless telephone, an apparatus or contrivance for
wireless telephony.
Wireless telephony, telephony without wires, usually
employing electric waves of high frequency emitted from an
oscillator or generator, as in wireless telegraphy. A
telephone transmitter causes fluctuations in these waves,
it being the fluctuations only which affect the receiver.

Computer Telephony
Computer Telephony Integration
CT
(CTI or "- Telephony -") Enabling computers to
know about and control telephony functions such as making and
receiving voice, fax and data calls, telephone directory
services and caller identification.
CTI is used in call centres to link incoming calls to computer
software functions such as database look-up of the caller's
number, supported by services such as {Automatic Number
Identification} and Dialled Number Identification Service.
Application software (middleware) can link personal computers
and servers with telephones and/or a PBX. Telephony and
software vendors such as AT&T, British Telecom, IBM,
Novell, Microsoft and Intel have developed CTI services.
The main CTI functions are integrating messaging with
databases, word processors etc.; controlling voice, fax,
and e-mail messaging systems from a single {application
program}; graphical call control - using a {graphical user
interface} to perform functions such as making and receiving
calls, forwarding and conferencing; call and data
association - provision of information about the caller from
databases or other applications automatically before the call
is answered or transferred; speech synthesis and {speech
recognition}; automatic logging of call related information
for invoicing purposes or callback.
CTI can improve customer service, increase productivity, reduce
costs and enhance workflow automation.
IBM were one of the first with workable CTI, now sold as
"CallPath". Callware's Phonetastic is another middleware
product.
CTI came out of the 1980s call centre boom, where it linked
central servers and IVRs with PBXes to provide call
transfer and screen popping. In the 1990s, efforts were
made by several vendors, such as IBM, Novell TSAPI and
Microsoft TAPI, to provide a version for desktop computers
that would allow control of a desktop telephone and assist in
hot desking.

internet telephony
(foldoc) | IP Telephony
Internet Telephony
IPT
(IPT, Internet Telephony) Use of IP data
connections to exchange voice and fax data that have
traditionally been carried over the {public switched telephone
network}.
During the late 1990s, an increasing number of telephone calls
have been routed over the Internet. Calls made in this way
avoid PSTN charges. Unlike traditional telephony, IP
telephony is relatively unregulated.
Companies providing these services are known as {Internet
Telephony Service Providers} (ITSPs). They include telephone
companies, cable TV companies and Internet Service Providers
(ISPs).
There are still many problems with voice quality, latency,
compression algorithms, and quality of service.
Voice over IP is an organised effort to standardise IP
telephony.
