What is Telefon?

The term 'Telefon' simply means 'telephone' in several languages, including German, Swedish, and Romanian. A telephone is a telecommunications device that permits two or more users to conduct a conversation when they are too far apart to be heard directly. A telephone converts sound, typically and most efficiently the human voice, into electronic signals suitable for transmission via cables or other transmission media over long distances, and reconverts such signals back into audible form for the user. Telephones are widely used for personal, business, and emergency communication.
