( by H R u b i j a n t o )

Nowadays the industry and business has entered globalization era, in which the companies all over the world compete one another in such a way in order to be a winner. In this situation we need speed and punctuality, that is why the role and function of sophisticated Information Technology and Telecommunication becomes a main bridge which connects an individual with another one, a group with another one, which shorten the distance and time, so that everything becomes more effective and efficient.

It means this condition will give added value to the community, especially to those who are involved as producer or user of infotech and Telecommunication. Using infrastructure network and business information system will enable us to accelerate the growth of economic activities, where businessman could easily knows information on market demand price competition, new product and service development, services rendered to the customers and other kinds of information which can support the whole activities of business.

In line with the increasing need of information , the society, the education world and the business world should be more familiar with sophisticated communication facilities and information technology, in order that all activities can be accomplished comprehensively and effectively. With the capability in mastering such technology, the production processes, formerly done in an integrated way in one place, nowadays can be divided and spread to all parts of the world according to the pattern which gives an optimum efficiency.

The potential of new customer and the increased global competition leads to a different emergence of a new telecommunication global market place. Current and coming soon features of telecom service will come to a convergence of information technology product service.
Knowledge, skills, financing and marketing, all of these components will increasingly come from sources all over the world to match the infotelecom industry requirements developing customize demand of multimedia services.

The capacity of computer nowadays expand still further, bringing not only text, but colour images, audio, moving video into everyday use. The term ‘multimedia’ has been used as an applied purposes to describe these systems. One problem of the complexity is the use of the term for marketing purposes to describe a wide variety of products from medical on line, edutainment to mobile video conferencing for business users. We could define ‘multimedia systems’ as those computer platforms, software tools and telecommunication or cellular networking that support the interactive users communicate one each others or for stand alone purposes such as computer aid development, computer aid engineering and alike.

Previously, during the 1980s a number of multimedia applications were developed, mostly in training and education systems, IMS for large corporations, and government departments. At the beginning of the 1990s a number of important changes are taking place that mark the emergence of a new phase in the history of multimedia digital systems are appearing, based on new technology that can access multimedia information stored on a CD-ROM. Alternative machines and upgrade kits are being launched on the market, based on the specification for the Multimedia PC backed by Microsoft and a consortium of other vendors.

Anticipating such condition, global compression standards are emerging that will boost the development of a mass market for video processors and multimedia technology. As the result of these changes a rapid reduction in the cost of operation and delivery platforms occurred in infotech industry. The main consideration to produce product service at a high level of quality is cost. All any kind of cost especially a telecommunication network cost which includes a voice network, data network, local area network, cellular mobile telephone network plus switching center, cable connections to the subscribers, sophisticated software and server units represents a very large capital investment.
It is therefore a mandatory that the network, switching center and software is engineered as economically as possible with an outstanding grade of service for its users. The grade of service may be considered satisfactory if the network traffic congestion tolerable to its users, it means the connections of voice conventional network or VoIP (voice over internet protocol) on any multimedia services run well. An obvious way to ensure a satisfactory grade of service to the users is to engineer the telecommunications network in such a way that is a very small possibility for traffic congestion to occur even currently the imposed software in server units and specification capabilities and features of terminal computer respectively become a prominent role as the rule of the infotech business and industry.
