Intercom Systems

Master Video · 04/29/2021 ·

• DYK - The First Corporate Intercom System was the “Boss-to-Secretary” intercom in 1937 by Executone, Inc., who became a leading intercom provider by the 1950s.

Why Intercom Systems?

Did You Know; Since the beginning of mankind, people have always needed to communicate over distances, from smoke signals to the telephone, to Internet email, “external” communication is ever-evolving. Communication over smaller distances within a facility is considered “internal communication", which is where the term “Intercom” is derived.

The person credited with inventing the intercom system was Allan Bernstein, an electronics engineer, and founder of Adams Laboratories, the manufacturing arm of what later became Executone Inc.

Early in his career, Berstein invented one of the first intercom systems, the “Boss-to-Secretary” system in 1937, followed by the “Patient-to-Nurse” call station for Hospitals.

Today, Intercom Systems are more than just pushing a button and speaking into a panel for two-way communication. IP-based commercial intercom systems are an integral part of facility-wide communications and security applications in hospitals, commercial sites, industrial facilities, retail malls, schools, campuses, parking garages, and corporate businesses.

Data Analytics

Master Video · 04/22/2021 ·

• DYK - The First use of Data Analytics was by American industrialists at the turn of the 20th Century, like Henry Ford, who revolutionized manufacturing with the assembly line.

Why Data Analytics?

Did You Know; The story of Data Analytics was born among the American industrialists of the late 1800s and early 20th Century. From Frederick Winslow Taylor in 1898, who conducted a time management analysis to improve efficiency at Pennsylvania’s Bethlehem Steel, to Henry Ford, who studied and measured the pacing of the processes down the Model T assembly line, reducing the time to build a car from over 12 hours to just 90 minutes in 1913.

Fast forward to the late 1960s, when Data Analytics became more mainstream when computers were first used as decision-making aids in business. Since then, Data Analytics has grown rapidly as a result of the innovation of Big Data, Data Warehouses, the Cloud, and a range of software and hardware tools. The research, discovery, and identification of trends in data are all part of data analytics.

Big Data is the New Economy...
The Future of Technology is Data Analytics.

Cable Distribution

Master Video · 04/08/2021 ·

• DYK - The first cabled wired telegraph was by Samuel F.B. Morse in 1844, using a pair of cables strung over 37 miles on poles between Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

Why Cable Distribution?

Did You Know; The story of Structured Cable Distribution started as early as 1844, when Samuel Morse (Morse Code) sent a message 37 miles from Washington D.C. to Baltimore, using his invention, 'The Telegraph,' a point-to-point text messaging system over dedicated cable lines. Today's computer network cabling principles remain basically the same, with speeds and feeds ever-increasing over time.

Stretching back over 100 years, the origins of coax cables begin towards the end of the 19th century and have served as the backbone of communications technology for many decades… from radios to telephones, televisions to computers, coax cable has seen continued use even as the technology has evolved.

A Brief History of Cable Distribution:

• 1840s: The first Telegraph message sent 37 miles by Samuel Morse in 1844.
• 1850s: The first Transatlantic telegraph cables were laid underwater in 1858.
• 1880s: The first coaxial cable was patented by English mathematician, Oliver Heaviside in 1880.
• 1890s: The first electrical coaxial conductor was patented by Nikola Tesla in 1894.

• 1920s: The first modern coaxial cable patented by AT&T's Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1929.
• 1930s: The first televised cable transmission was the XI Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936.
• 1940s: The first commercial cable was by AT&T, between Minnesota and Wisconsin in 1941.
• 1980s: The first commercially available IEEE 10Base5 (CAT1) Ethernet cable was released in 1983.
• 1990s: The first “fast Ethernet” 1 Gbps fiber optic cables were released in 1995.
• 2000s: The first CAT5 twisted-pair cables reach 10 Gbps.
• 2010s: The first CAT6 Ethernet cables speeds up to 25 Gbps.
• 2020s: The first CAT8 cables offer higher Gbps to terabit speeds.

Technology Evolves Quickly, and Ethernet is No Exception to that Fast-Paced World.
