The Difference Between Telecommunication and Data Communication Are Highlighted Below

Telecommunication refers to the exchange of voice, data, and video information over significant distances using electronic means, with data represented as electromagnetic signals that can travel long distances without a medium. Data communication refers specifically to the exchange of digital data between a source and receiver using transmission media like wire cables over short distances, with data represented in binary bits. The key difference is that telecommunication transmits various media over longer distances using wireless technology, while data communication exchanges plain text or files over wired connections spanning shorter links.
