490 BC Heliographs. 2400 BC Postal Systems. 3000 BC Drums and Horns. 16th Century Maritime flags. 1792 Semaphore systems. 1839 first commercial electrical telegraph. 1866 first transatlantic telegraph cable. 1876 telephone (acoustic telegraph).
Meuccis Idea
Johann Philipp Reis, 1860, constructed prototype 'make-and-break' telephones, today called Reis' telephones.

Subscriber Signaling
Pulse dialing
Usually 10 pulses per second. Interdigit gap at least 200 ms. Duty cycle: 33%.

DTMF
The pair of frequencies are chosen so that they can not be mimicked by the human voice easily, which could otherwise interfere with the normal network signaling function. These tones also can be transmitted through the network and so can be used for various kinds of remote functions such as remote banking (endto-end signaling).
