Telex Communications

Telex Communications is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Telex Communications rather than just read about it. In short: Telex Communications, Inc., originally Telex Corporation, was a Burnsville, Minnesota-based manufacturer of hearing aids and audio equipment. Founded in 1936 as a maker of hearing aids, it entered the computer peripherals businesses in the 1960s.

Key takeaways

Telex Communications belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Telex Communications to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Telex Communications from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Telex Communications, Inc., originally Telex Corporation, was a Burnsville, Minnesota-based manufacturer of hearing aids and audio equipment. Founded in 1936 as a maker of hearing aids, it entered the computer peripherals businesses in the 1960s. Telex Communications was structured as a subsidiary of Telex Corp in the 1970s. Telex Corp was acquired by Memorex in 1988, which renamed itself Memorex Telex NV. The hearing aid portion of Telex Corp. was subsequently spun-out in 1989 as Telex Communications, an independent company. Memorex retained Telex Corp's peripherals businesses. In February 1998 Telex Communications merged with Electro-Voice. In August 2006, the company was acquired by Germany's Bosch Group for $420 million, becoming a business unit under the name "Bosch Communications Systems". In 2025, the security/communications/conference systems business unit of Bosch, which included the Dynacord and Electro-Voice brands along with the conference systems product line, was sold to Triton Partners, an investment firm to be operated as Keenfinity Group[1]. One of its chairmen, Roger Wheeler, was murdered by the Winter Hill Gang in 1981 at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Telex Communications

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Telex Communications claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Telex Communications before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Telex Communications ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Telex Communications

In research: Telex Communications appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Telex Communications in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Telex Communications is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1988 mergers and acquisitions, 2006 disestablishments in Minnesota, 2006 mergers and acquisitions, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Telex Communications outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
