technology, in telecommunication industry various telecommunication networks are enlisted
such as local area network (LAN), Wide area network (WAN), Metropolitan area network
(MAN). These networks not only helps for business purposes but also these are accessed all
over the world. On the other hand, information technology may be defined as a process in
which the information are stored, transmitted as well as manipulated. By using this
technology, the telecommunication industry also accepts this concept of storing as well as
transmitting information (Erumban and Das 2016). This technology provides the transmission
of information through various electronic devices over distances. Attaching the information
technology, the telecommunication industry helps to the companies to communicate with the
customers in an effective way and it also helps to provide high range services to the
customers.
2.3 Process of applying IT in telecommunication
In the telecommunication industry, the main aim is the transmission of information
over long distances. The information may be sign, signals as well as messages, words etc.
Telecommunication takes places while information is exchanging within communication
devices with the help of information technology (Galliers and Leidner 2014). It needs to
install information technology related devices in telecommunication industry for easier as
well as faster communication. Various equipment are required for better communication with

the help of information technology. The equipment are such as telephone, mobile, radio,
television, transistors as well as computers and Internet that helps to provide better evaluation
in the telecommunication field. With the help of information technology, the analog as well
as digital communications are developed in the telecommunication sector which helps to
provide the communication related information in form of signals. The internet also takes a
part in the case of communication (Goddard and Gillespie 2017). Through internet, the
communication makes easier in terms of text, audio messages.
2.4 Process of using IT in telecommunication
Merging information technology with telecommunication industry, it has a great
reflection in human life. Because all of the activities of daily life are done with the help of
this technology. By using this technology, various kind of communications such as electronic
mail, call conference as well as video conference all are operated in daily life. According to
the external view, the integration of information technology and telecommunication industry
helps to enhance the economy concept of nation as because merging these two phenomena
helps to develop the economic strategy of the nation (Meredith et al. 2014). According to the
business perspective, the communication process makes easier and it helps to each of the
organizations to make their strategically view in the target market. With the help of
information technology, people can access lots of information for their daily use purposes
over the internet. In this way, the information technology utilises in telecommunication
industry.
2.5 Advantages of IT in telecommunication
The telecommunication industry brings a lot of advantages while it attaches with the
information technology. In the present world, the telecommunication industry has been
improved by using information technology. Because, nowadays people can communicate
with each other through email, messages, phone calling, pictures as well as videos over the

internet (Sapolsky et al. 2018). Attaching with the information technology, the enhancing
phenomena telecommunication has reflected in the field of entertainment. Because, people
can see their enjoyable information through various television stations by pushing just one
button. Over the internet, they can listen their favourite music with the help of
telecommunication industry (Vaishnavi and Kuechler 2015). According to business view,
there a number of advantages of telecommunication industry. Because, this industry gives
better customer service that means they can solve any customer related problems through the
telephone devices. By using this information technology in telecommunication industry, the
new arrival devices that is smart phones which is an integral part of telecommunication
industry can be used for accessing data, receiving mail as well as messages etc.
