A computer network can be defined as a group of computers and other peripheral devices that are linked together for the purpose of sharing data and hardware resources. 2. In a computer network, the data is transferred with the help of transmission medium (wired or wireless) only. 3. The various advantages of networking are — Efficient use of storage media: It is more economical to store an application software on a network drive than to store a copy of the application on each user's storage device. Reduction in hardware costs: In a network, the hardware devices that are not used often like modems, printers, scanners, CD-writers, etc., can be shared. This reduces the total expenditure on hardware. 4. A Coaxial cable consists of central copper wire surrounded by insulation and then a shield of braided wire. A Coaxial cable is used in the transmission of video, communication signals, and audio. The two types of coaxial cables are: Baseband Coaxial cable: It supports quick transmission of a single signal at a time. It is mainly used for LANs. Broadband Coaxial cable: It transmits multiple signals at the same time and is used for longer distances. 5.

Domain Name is a unique name given to each website or resource connected to the Internet. Domain names are easier to remember than IP addresses since name has VIII-COMPUTER LFS-GIDA strong correlation with the website. For example, the domain name for Google search engine, is google.co.in and for Wikipedia, it is wikipedia.org. 7. A Gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network using different protocols thereby giving us freedom and convenience to enjoy online activities. It allows us to carry out various online activities, such as sending e-mail, browsing through web pages, buying things online, and more. 8. i. Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity. It creates a Wireless Local Area Network that uses radio waves to send the information. A secure, reliable, and fast wireless connection is established between the electronic devices and the Internet by using this technology. The devices require a wireless adapter connected to them to capture the Wi-Fi signals. ii. Modem: A modem enables you to connect your computer to the available Internet connection over the existing telephone lines. It converts the digital signals of a computer into analog signals to enable their transmission via phone lines. At the destination, the receiving modem further converts the analog signal into digital signals so that the data can be understood at the receiving end. iii. Cluster Area Network (CAN): CAN, also known as Campus Area Network, is a network comprising a series of small LANs over a small geographical area, such as a college campus. This network covers an area smaller than MAN. 9. i. Hub and Switch Hub: A hub is a networking device that is used to connect multiple computers and computing devices directly to the network by using cables. A hub sends all the data it receives to all the connected ports. Switch: Switches contain many ports to connect different network segments. A switch VIII-COMPUTER LFS-GIDA is aware of the addresses assigned to each of its ports and sends the incoming data it receives only to the intended port. ii. Router and Repeater Router: A Router is a communication device that is used to connect two different networks, such as two LANs, or a LAN and a WAN. It plays a vital role in controlling the traffic and keeping the network efficient. It chooses the best route for the data packets to be transmitted at the receiver's end. Repeater: A Repeater is a communication device, used to regenerate a signal. It receives electronic signals, cleans them, and retransmits them. Repeaters are needed so that the signals can travel longer distances with the same strength or even at a higher power. .

  • Telecommunication Technologies
    Advance in Electronic and Electric Engineering. ISSN 2231-1297, Volume 3, Number 4 (2013), pp. 421-426 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com/aeee.htm Telecommunication Technologies Aarti Chaudhary, Neetu Pundir and Pallavi Goel ECE Deptt. RKGITW, Gzb., India.(Affiliated to GBTU) Abstract Early telecommunication technologies included visual signals, such as beacons, smoke signals, semaphore telegraphs, signal flags, and optical heliographs. Other examples of pre-modern telecommunications include audio messages such as coded drumbeats, lung-blown horns, and loud whistles. Electrical and electromagnetic telecommunication technologies include telegraph, telephone, and teleprinter, networks, radio, microwave transmission fiberoptics, communications satellites and the Internet The world's effective capacity to exchange information through two- way telecommunication networks grew from 281 petabytes of (optimally compressed) information in 1986, to 471 petabytes in 1993, to 2.2 (optimally compressed) exabytes in 2000, and to 65 (optimally compressed) exabytes in 2007. This is the informational equivalent of two newspaper pages per person per day in 1986, and six entire newspapers per person per day by 2007. Given this growth, telecommunications play an increasingly important role in the world economy and the global telecommunications industry was about a $4.7 trillion sector in 2012. The service revenue of the global telecommunications industry was estimated to be $1.5 trillion in 2010, corresponding to 2.4% of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP). Keywords: History; Primary Units of telecommunication system; Basic Elements; Ancient systems of telecommunication and Future of telecommunication. 422 Aarti Chaudhary et al 1.

Although one-way television signal distribution continues to be the primary application of cable television systems, the cable television network can be used for two-way data communications. Data communication places severe engineering demands on the performance of a cable television network. Therefore, to ensure that data communications capabilities are not precluded by poor engineering, local cable authorities and the cable industry must identify and overcome the technical barriers to the application of cable television networks to data communications. We identify the following as the primary technical requirements that remain to be addressed by the cable industry: - Methods for controlling the accumulation of insertion noise and ingress on upstreimr channels.

  • Different Types of Communication/Transmission Media
    IT (9626) Theory Notes Different types of communication/transmission media Data communication involves transmission of digital information to different electronic devices through wireless or cabled connections. The two commonly used computer communication media used are wired and wireless media. a) Wired Media Data transfer through physical connections is referred to as wired media in that signals are sent to other external devices from one computer in a network. Computers can be interconnected to share files and devices in a network by means of cabling which facilitates faster communication of information. Wired media is a faster data communication that provides high speed transfer of signals over long distances and is the most reliable media for message sending. Wired media is categorized into three types of data communication which enables connection of different types of network. These cables include: 1. Coaxial cable This is most common wired media that many electronics use to transfer data and it is designed with two parallel copper conductors. It has a solid central copper conductor that transmits signal and is coated with a protective cover to reduce electromagnetic interference. Coaxial cable is found in different gauges at affordable prices and is easier to work with. They are easy to install and can support up to 10Mps capacity with medium attenuation. Despite its popularity, the only serious drawback it has is that the entire network is always affected with a single cable failure. 2. Twisted pair cable Twisted pair cables are found in two types and these include unshielded and shielded twisted pair cables. It is commonly used because it is lighter and inexpensive.
