In telecommunication, communications-electronics (C-E) is the specialized field concerned with

the use of electronic devices and systems for the acquisition or acceptance, processing, storage,
display, analysis, protection, disposition, and transfer of information.
C-E includes the wide range of responsibilities and actions relating to:

Electronic devices and systems used in the transfer of ideas and perceptions;

Electronic sensors and sensory systems used in the acquisition of information devoid of
semantic influence;

Electronic devices and systems intended to allow friendly forces to operate in hostile
environments and to deny to hostile forces the effective use of electromagnetic resources.

Electronic Communications Equipment[edit]

Communication electronics radio equipment has been a rapidly growing industry for more than a
century. Homeland Security in the USA is one of the reasons for the fast growth. Since the invention
of the solid state transistor in the 1950s and the TTL (transistor-transistor logic) that led to the
development of the IC (integrated circuit) in the 1960s the growth in the field of electronics has been
phenomenal. As now witnessed in the radio communications field. The latest trend is to send
conventional LMR (land-mobile-radio) signals over the Internet (Internet Protocol) this is
called RoIP (Radio over Internet Protocol), which is just like VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) but
uses the radio. By sending signals over the Internet it allows radios to be connected together all over
the world. Hence: the Communications Revolution.
