Data Science in Telecommunication Industry

What is Telecommunication

When communicating over long distances, it requires some medium for a message to travel within. By definition, the telecommunication is the exchange of information like voice, data, and video transmission over long distances by electronic means. Today's country relies on telecommunication to support its businesses and daily tasks. The telecommunications industry is one of the most important for any country; most countries heavily rely on this industry, which plays an important part in a country's growth. The nation's survivability decreases if the mode of communication is weak. Today's fast-paced life has its own requirements; everything at your doorstep just at a blink of an eye has only been possible because of today's vast and advanced telecommunications networks. The world is a global village only because of the telecommunications sector and its capability to excel in scalability like its own. Communication has now become the basic need for human life, a lifeline for businesses, information, and other purposes. Telecommunication industry vitality is observed when delivering services on a daily basis to billions of users worldwide.

History of Telecommunication

No one knew in the past that these nonverbal form of signaling will become the most power tool of verbal communication. It has always been the art of signaling from different ages to modern day, It is still signaling. It was human nature that gave predefined meanings of some respective signals for some predefined results to carry out. Current innovation in telecommunication is the result of experiments to dissolve the barrier to communicate over long distances. From the drums in the wartime to electronically delivered signals from the telegraphs signaling. Today's electronically and magnetically driven communication also relay on the basic principle of signalling. 

Telegraphs

Modern day telecommunication started from from the invent of telegraphs. The prominent factor for its success was its patented and later used for commercial purposes in London 1837. It was connecting and disconnecting of electrical pulse generating signals which were perceived as desired answers. Telegraph initially used morse encoding system. later on in 1850 the first line in between England and France via sea was inaugurated

Telephones

Johan Philip Reis was a German inventor who transmitted his voice to another person in another room in 1861. This was the first-ever voice transfer from one destination to another, and the invention was named the Reis Telephone. Reis made three attempts, in which the third attempt carried out the desired result. Johan Philip Reis' work was initially labeled as "the transmission of tones via galvanic current over wide distances."

Alexander Graham Bell was able to squeeze more traffic using a single telegraph line using harmonic telegraphs in 1874. It was Alexander Graham Bell whose device was first patented after Ries Telephone. Ten to fifteen years later the need for communication lines using the new telephone of Graham Bell was extreme. Now Phillip Reis is remembered as the first inventor. For him, however, it was too late. He died in 1874. The idea of a so-called contact microphone was overtaken by the electro-magnetic system of Bell, changing the amplitude of transmitted. The practical use of Graham Bell principal by compacting more traffic in a single line was much feasible for commercial use hence it was also adopted world wide and gained more success than the previous predecessors. The success of Alexander Graham Bell's invention was also because of the commercial feasibility many houses and new industries was formed based on these lines multi long distance landline were interconnected hence providing the telecommunication industry its future scope

Cellular Network

This is the place where the world lives today most of the time. Mobile communication accessibility for people has increased the peace of life; waiting is considered an error, for instant requirements require instant answers

The advent of cellular networks started in the 1950s in Europe, with the first generation, 1G, later on superseded by 3G, 4G, and 5G generations. The early mobile network depended on analog signal transmission systems.The era of mass communications had started, where billions of people would rely on this network every second. Mobile phones are proven to be the biggest achievement in the telecommunications industry

Evolving of Problem in Telecommunication

The benefits of telecommunication industry comes with it's challenges and difficulties as well. The telecom industry comprises of huge infrastructures and man power to rely on. The infrastructure requires continues maintenance and upgradation as well. Telecom infrastructure consumes costs heavily in the form of energy consumption, labour cost and system failures. The basic telecom infrastructure consists of two ends (station) each end capable of receiving and transmitting of data, but since the telecom companies spent billions and billions to retain the customer retention it is necessary to develop infrastructure that is capable enough to support with this much of capacity. 

    If the system capacity is not enough to deliver than the chances of customer retention are very low. The competitive market and the flexibility to switch to any other network will definitely result in losing the customers, when talking about customers it mean the behavior can be observed over a millions of user at a time. The Telecom providers are in race to make huge profits by retaining customers, but the customer retention in some countries where competition is tightened and regulatory authority gives a narrowed path to run businesses remains a challenge. The return on investment ROI can only be determined in the form of customer retention. The strategies success rate is measured in the form of customer retention. Business is always generated from the sales of services or products for telecom industry sales, which occupy different behaviors. It is a long-term contract between the carrier company and the consumer of services; therefore,, it is required to safeguard and monitor the telecom provider's profits and growth at all times to achieve economic success. 

Data science application in telecommunications

Telecom companies seek ways to have customer retention to make huge profits. Churn technology is one of the data science techniques to monitor customer retention. The revolutionary achievements in the telecom industry were consumer centric. The sole purpose is to better and beyond to provide consumers with more facilities than ever before to retain customer retention.Telecom provider strategies for influenced consumer loyalty for developed market, success  rate for customer satisfaction are all measured in the form of customer retention. 

Data

In this data set there is no column indicating time stamp which means no time series analysis could be performed. We can clearly see that the data is ready for model building and analytics and there not need to further work on the data itself. Default values are already of data type integers and float. No variable is data type object. The total number of rows are 3150

The data set remains of zero null values. All the columns are already cleaned and ready to be processed. The data set is in machine readable form.

EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis)

Note: This does not tend to provide any company or business any harm. This for educational purposes only from beginner to professionals in the field of analytics to provide them with the idea of data science.
