Report Description: A telex (TELeprinter EXchange) network is a collection of teleprinters and teletype transmitters connected by physical wire or radio wave connection to send and receive text-based messages at rapid speed[1]. Having evolved from the crude electric typers of the robber-baron democracies which transmitted a series of ON or OFF signals via electrical cables, telex networks possess the same alphabet constructed of combinations of ON and OFF signals through dedicated telex wires or radio frequencies. A telex user sends a message by inputting it on a small keyboard of either letters (common for building-mounted telex machines) or phrases (common in mobile telex units, especially military) and a receiver code. The signal is then routed through the entirety of the telex network, composed of radio towers and landline nodes which store the message and search for the receiver code. Each node cycles through its connected telex machines and asks for their receiver code; if it matches the sender's receiver code, it sends the message. This process takes less than one second for a continental transmission on modern discrete-circuit computer-aided telex nodes, and is extremely data efficient. It is likely that due to its efficiency, low data cost, extensive infrastructure, and possibility of compatibility with newer computing networks[2], telex will remain the prime form of communication for MANINTERN networks against its primary competitor vocex for some time to come.
