    COMPUTER NETWORKS AND COMMUNICATION

    1.0 INTRODUCTION

    Computer Networks

    A computer network or data network is a telecommunications network which allows


    computers to exchange data. In computer networks, networked computing devices exchange data
    with each other using a data link. The connections between nodes are established using either
    cable media or wireless media. The best-known computer network is the Internet.

    Communications

    Communication is about the transfer of information from a sender, across a distance, to a


    receiver. Using electricity, radio waves or light, information and data in the form of codes are
    transmitted through a physical medium, such as wire, cable or even the atmosphere. Therefore, in
    order to make communications possible from computers, across telephones and radios and back
    to computers and other digital devices again, there must be a signal translator, which is called
    modem. Modem can converts digital signals for information to move across the telephone line.

    Mobile computing is human–computer interaction by which a computer is expected to be


    transported during normal usage, which allows for transmission of data, voice and video. Mobile

    3.0 Internet Technology and Services

    3.1 VoIP

    Voice over Internet Protocol (Voice over IP, VoIP and IP telephony) is a methodology and
    group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over
    Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet.

    The steps and principles involved in originating VoIP telephone calls are similar to traditional
    digital telephony and involve signaling, channel setup, digitization of the analog voice signals,
    and encoding.

    VoIP systems employ session control and signaling protocols to control the signaling, set-up, and
    tear-down of calls. They transport audio streams over IP networks using special media delivery
    protocols that encode voice, audio, video with audio codes, and video codes as Digital audio by
    streaming media.

    3.2 BLOG

    A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog) is a discussion or informational site published on


    the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse
    chronological order.
    4.0 Types of Network

    4.1 PAN

    A personal area network (PAN) is a computer network used for data transmission amongst
    devices such as computers, telephones, tablets and personal digital assistants. PANs can be used
    for communication amongst the personal devices themselves (interpersonal communication), or
    for connecting to a higher level network and the Internet (an uplink) where one "master" device
    takes up the role as internet router.

    A wireless personal area network (WPAN) is a low-powered PAN carried over a short-
    distance wireless network technology. The reach of a WPAN varies from a few centimeters to a
    few meters. A PAN may also be carried over wired computer buses such as USB and FireWire.

    4.2 VPN

    A virtual private network also known as a VPN is a private network that extends across a
    public network or internet. It enables users to send and receive data across shared or public
    networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.

    VPNs can provide functionality, security and/or network management benefits to the user. A
    VPN is created by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated
    connections, virtual tunnelling protocols, or traffic encryption. A VPN available from the public
    Internet can provide some of the benefits of a wide area network (WAN). From a user
    perspective, the resources available within the private network can be accessed remotely.
    4.3 WLAN

    A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more
    devices using a wireless distribution method (often spread-spectrum or OFDM radio) within a
    limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building. This gives users the
    ability to move around within a local coverage area and yet still be connected to the network. A
    WLAN can also provide a connection to the wider Internet.

    4.4 WIMAX

    WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a family of wireless


    communication standards based on the IEEE 802.16 set of standards, which provide multiple
    physical layer (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC) options. The name "WiMAX" was
    created by the WiMAX Forum. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology
    enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL".

    5.0 Conclusion

    We can conclude that computer networks and communication makes our life easier to
    communicate with each other and the world using the computer.
