What is a telex communication?

Telex communication is a system that allows for the transmission of typed messages over long distances using teleprinter machines. It operates through a network of telecommunication lines, converting text into electrical signals sent to a receiving telex machine, which then prints the message. This method was widely used for business and international communications before the rise of fax and email technologies. Although largely obsolete today, it played a significant role in global communication during the 20th century.
