A evolução da tecnologia em redes e telecomunicações em Alvorada do Norte: a perspectiva dos usuários sobre a qualidade da internet

Abstract

The technology of telecommunication networks has been growing for decades, causing a great impact on the global economy, since after the creation of the electric telegraph around the year 1837, it became possible for important organizations to send and receive information of great relevance to each other, even at a distance. With the evolution of transmission methods and the creation of ARPANET, which was the first prototype of what we know as the Internet today, telecommunication became globalized and gave rise to several models of communication networks, which started to be used in universities and the military. However, what will be the perspective of the population of a country town in relation to the evolution of this technology? In view of this, this study aimed to identify and analyze the perspective and experiences of users of telecommunications and internet services in Alvorada do Norte Goiás, in order to know the level of knowledge about the different methods of network and internet signal transmission. To achieve the objectives that were carried out, we used the qualitative-quantitative research method, where there was the development and application of a questionnaire with open and closed questions, to users of network and internet in Alvorada do Norte. The results obtained showed that a large part of the users had already used at least two of the transmission methods. But in the rural area the reality is different, fiber optics has not yet arrived there. The signal transmission via radio is used, where the internet is not transmitted with good quality. Based on this, it is necessary to seek methods to remedy the deficiency of infrastructure to transmit a signal of quality and without interference to users in rural areas.
