Wired telecommunications activities

NACE code 61.10 covers wired telecommunications activities, a critical component of modern communication infrastructure. This industry is responsible for the transmission of voice, data, text, sound, and video using fixed telecommunications networks. It plays a vital role in enabling connectivity, information exchange, and digital transformation across various sectors of the economy.

The key production techniques in the wired telecommunications industry involve the installation, maintenance, and operation of fixed-line telecommunication networks. This includes the deployment of copper, fiber-optic, and coaxial cable infrastructure, as well as the use of switching and routing equipment to facilitate the transmission of signals. Telecommunications providers also utilize advanced technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable modems, and internet protocol (IP) networks to deliver high-speed internet, television, and voice services to residential and business customers.

The main inputs required for wired telecommunications activities include raw materials such as copper, fiber-optic cables, and electronic components for network equipment. Additionally, this industry relies on specialized machinery and tools for the installation, repair, and maintenance of the telecommunications infrastructure. Skilled technicians and engineers are also a critical input, responsible for designing, deploying, and operating the wired communication networks.

The primary outputs of the wired telecommunications industry are the provision of fixed-line telephone services, high-speed internet access, and cable television. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, including 62.01 Information technology consultancy activities, 62.02 Computer programming activities, 63.11 Data processing, hosting and related activities, and 68.20 Renting and operating of own or leased real estate.
