Telecommunication Impact on Global Tech Development

The report highlights the key milestones in the development of fundamental technologies.

Introduction

Since the early 2000s, technological progress in the field of digital data transmission has laid the foundation for further development of the industry. The means and methods of transmitting digital data has changed as new technologies have developed. This report presents trends in telecommunication protocols over the past 20 years, thanks to which we now:

And this is just the start!

More about the Report

This report presents the main achievements in technological development. Modernity rests on the technological achievements of the last 20 years, with the proliferation of high-speed internet, artificial intelligence, and connected IoT devices undergoing continuous and rapid digital transformation.

The report highlights the key milestones in the development of fundamental technologies that are associated with progress in the areas of healthcare, telecommunications, instantaneous data transmission, the Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence. The next decade promises to be primarily digital, so it is necessary to keep abreast of emerging and promising technologies.

In this report, you will explore:

WebRTC

Over the past two years, due to the pandemic, the popularity of voice and video conferencing services has increased. According to Google, during the first months of the pandemic, Google Meet’s peak daily usage grew by 30 times.

The secret to the mass distribution of such platforms lies in WebRTC technology. Its open-source and customization flexibility allows you to quickly turn any web platform into an online conferencing terminal.

Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) is a real-time internet communication standard introduced by Google in 2010. This technology allows you to stream audio, video, and graphic data online. Thanks to WebRTC, any browser available to the user becomes a terminal for conferencing — just open a page with software integrated into it — there is no need to connect additional plugins and modules or install third-party programs.

The image below shows how the technology works on the example of a call between two subscribers through a browser:

 

 

 

“WebRTC gives you the ability to communicate live, and makes you feel like you're right there. WebRTC enables real-time communication just by loading a web page,” - Justin Uberti, Tech Lead at WebRTC, Google.

 

Advantages of WebRTC technology:

Interesting fact:

WebRTC and HTML5 were the death blow to the Flash technology that preceded it. Since 2017, the leading browsers have officially stopped supporting Flash, and the technology has finally disappeared from the market.

Examples of popular applications on WebRTC:

  1. Google Meet is a platform for instant messaging, video and audio calls.
  2. BigBlueButton is free software often used for distance learning through interactive whiteboards, quizzes, content sharing, and more.
  3. Jitsi Meet is an open-source application that works only in browsers and does not allow more than 75 participants to join.

Standardization of various APIs for WebRTC can reduce communication costs and allow WebRTC to be used in many industries — telecommunications, gaming, news, and so on. In addition, WebRTC will have a strong impact on the Internet in general — the development of open source web applications, the growth of compatibility between browsers, and more.
