FM radio programming, high-speed Internet, telephone service, and similar non-television services may also be provided through these cables.

) The inherent latency of the coding algorithm can be critical ; for example, when there is two-way transmission of data, such as with a telephone conversation, significant delays may seriously degrade the perceived quality.

Fax machines still retain some advantages, particularly in the transmission of sensitive material which, if sent over the Internet unencrypted, may be vulnerable to interception, without the need for telephone tapping.

It must include such data as the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the franchisees in the licensed territory ( who may be contacted and consulted before negotiations ), estimate of total franchise revenues and franchisor profitability.

Note: Automatic redial is often associated with the telephone instrument, but may be provided by a PBX, or by the central office.

For example, a switched analog connection in the telephone network has energy below 300 Hz and above 3400 Hz removed by bandpass filtering ; since the signal has no energy very close to zero frequency, it may not be considered a baseband signal, but in the telephone systems frequency-division multiplexing hierarchy, it is usually treated as a baseband signal, by comparison with the modulated signals used for long-distance transmission.

One application for SVCs is to carry individual telephone calls when a network of telephone switches are inter-connected using ATM.

For example, a 3 kHz band can carry a telephone conversation whether that band is at baseband ( as in your POTS telephone line ) or modulated to some higher frequency.

The result was that cable systems were permitted to carry as many new television channels as they liked, as well as providing a telephone service and interactive services of many kinds ( as since made familiar by the Internet ).

* domestic: coaxial and multiconductor cable carry most voice traffic ; parallel microwave radio relay network carries some additional telephone channels

Although originally intended for cell phones, with the development of smartphones, cellular telephone networks routinely carry data in addition to telephone conversations:

* April 22 – Optical fiber is first used to carry live telephone traffic.

Geostationary satellites also carry international telephone traffic but they are being replaced by fiber optic cables in heavily populated areas and along the coasts of less developed regions, because of the greater bandwidth available and lower latency, due to the inherent disconcerting delay in communicating via a satellite in such a high orbit.

Frequency division multiplexing ( FDM ) allows an analog telephone wire to carry a baseband telephone call, concurrently as one or several carrier-modulated telephone calls.

19th century telephone systems, operating at baseband, could only carry one telephone call on each wire, hence routes with heavy traffic needed many wires.

In the Netherlands all telephone equipment shall carry a blue label with the ringer equivalence number-in this case 1. 5

It could carry 1, 840 simultaneous telephone calls

Modern cables use only optical fiber technology to carry digital payloads, which carry telephone, Internet and private data traffic.

In some cases, multiple signals can be carried on a single cable ; Cat 5 can carry two conventional telephone lines as well as a single 100BASE-T channel in a single cable.

The remainder of the 294MHz bandwidth can be used to carry other information channels, such as off-the-air TV, FM, closed circuit TV, or a voice telephone system, or, other digital channels.

In contrast, SS7 signaling is termed Common Channel Signaling ( CCS ) in that the path and facility used by the signaling is separate and distinct from the telecommunications channels that will ultimately carry the telephone conversation.
