Adding 'tele-' to 'communication' directly yields the meaning of communication over a distance.

Telecommunication combines tele- meaning 'far' and communication meaning 'sharing information', the same tele- you see in telephone and television. So, telecommunication is sending messages or information over a distance by electronic means.
