Unique- It was the world’s first general post office. Temporary- it had a start and end date. Planned- the idea was to combine the function of state postal system and telecommunication carrier. Defined Deliverable: The plan to generate a postal office. Fix: Quality. Optimize: Cost. Accept: Time. -
First Fiber Optics
French Chappe brothers invented the first optical telegraph. It was a system comprised of a series of lights mounted on tower to next. Over the course of the next century great studies were made in optical science. This invention was very helpful in telecommunication field. The speed of data communication is increased at long distance.End date of project: 1790

First Radio Communication
The idea of wireless communication predates the discovery of radio with experiments in wireless telegraphy via inductive and capacitive induction and transmission through the ground, water, and even tracks from 1830s. in 1888 Heirich Rudolf Hertz was able to conclusively prove transmitted airborne electromagnetic waves in experiment confirming Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism.

First Wireless Network
WLAN IEEE802.11 allowed two megabytes per second of data transferred wirelessly between devices. It was invented by a committee called 802.11 by NCR corporation and AT&T corporation in 1991.Vic Hayes, the chairperson of IEEE 802.11 executed the project. It offers 23 overlapping channels rather than 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band.
