ABSTRACT

The impact of nanotechnology on telecommunications is manifesting itself in new applications in business, industry, and government. The impact of nanotechnology on telecommunications is, in many ways, enabling communications across not only physical borders but also across the cultural curtains of long-established economic, political, cultural, and even religious barriers. The impact on telecommunications in particular, expands the capacity of applications and brings telecommunications capability to more of the world. The impact of nanotechnology on cell phone technology has made numerous applications possible and available for the first time. Its foremost benefit is that it has brought more telecommunications capability worldwide. The impact of nanotechnology on telecommunications opens up new and exciting worlds of applications. The advantage of emerging nanotechnologies will not only provide a smaller “footprint” on the computer or telecommunications floor, but also impact power consumption with an accompanying complimentary impact on the environment.
