Telefony

Telefony, or telephony, refers to the technology and systems involved in the transmission of voice and sound over distances through electrical or digital signals. It encompasses both the hardware (such as telephones and communication devices) and the software (such as protocols and systems used in communication) that facilitate audio communication. Telephony includes traditional landline systems, mobile communication (cellular phones), and internet-based services (VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol). The evolution of telephony has significantly impacted personal and business communication, enabling real-time conversation over vast distances. In the context of computer science, telephony may also involve aspects like digital signal processing, network protocols, and integration with data services to provide enhanced communication capabilities.
