HOW TO USE THIS MODULE?
Before starting the module, I want you to set aside other tasks that will disturb you while enjoying the lessons. Read the simple instruction below to successfully enjoy the objectives of this kit. Have fun! 1. Follow carefully all the contents and instructions indicated in every page on this module. 2. Write on your notebook or any writing pad the concepts about the lessons. Writing enhances learning, that is important to develop and keep in mind. 3. Perform all the provided activities in the module. 4. Let your facilitator/guardian assess your answers. 5. Analyze conceptually the post test and apply what you have learned. 6. Enjoy studying.
LO 1. Recognize network fundamentals and the benefits and risks of network computing
LESSON 1.1 TERMINOLOGIES RELATING TO
TELECOMMUNICATIONS, NETWORKS AND THE INTERNET
EXPECTATION
Identify terminologies relating to telecommunications, networks
and the Internet
TELECOMMUNICATIONS, NETWORKS AND INTERNET
TERMINOLOGIES Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) - very high speed transmission technology. ATM is a high bandwidth, low-delay, connection-oriented, packet-like switching and multiplexing technique.
ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) - ATSC is a committee formed to establish
voluntary standards for advanced TV systems, focusing on digital television, broadband multimedia communications standards, and interactive systems. Backbone - part of a network used to connect smaller segments of networks together.
Backhaul - Comprises the intermediate links between the core network, or backbone, of the network and the small sub-networks at the "edge" of the entire hierarchical network. For example, while cell phones communicating with a single cell tower constitute a local sub-network, the connection between the cell tower and the rest of the world begins with a backhaul link to the core of the telephone company's network (via a point of presence).
Bandwidth - the width of a communications channel. In analog communications, bandwidth
is typically measured in Hertz. In digital communication, bandwidth is measured in bits per second (bps).
Bluetooth – a short-range wireless connection standard. Its aim is to link a wide range of computers, electronics and telecoms devices. The Bluetooth standard is allowing for greater wireless internet capability in the office and for consumers.
Broadband - broadband means a wide range of frequencies over which information can be transmitted. A simple way to compare broadband and narrowband Internet connections is to picture a highway
BROWSER - a browser is a free software package or mobile app that lets you view web pages, graphics, and most online content. Bundling - ‘Triple-play’ and ‘quad-play’ are ways that telecom companies package (bundle) their services. While they used to only offer home telephone service, they now provide home phone, internet connection, television and maybe even cell phone service.
Carrier - a company that is authorized by regulatory agencies to operate a
telecommunications system. Examples include Globe, Smart and TM
Connectivity - in telecommunication and computing in general, a connection is the
successful completion of necessary arrangements so that two or more parties (for example, people or programs) can communicate at a long distance.
Domain Name Service (DNS) - provides a means to attach a name to an IP address making it easier for us to request resources
Dongle – a portable mobile broadband adapter connected to a laptop or PC via a USB port.
Ethernet - is a standard for using various transmission media, such as coaxial cables, unshielded twisted pairs, and optical fibers.
Firewall - part of a computer system or network that is designed to block unauthorized
access while permitting authorized communications. It is a device or set of devices which is configured to permit or deny computer based application upon a set of rules and other criteria. INTERNET - a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols.
IP Address - an IP address is a 32-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of
information that is sent in packets across the Internet.
Local Area Network (LAN) - locally owned and administered network for data communications that provides a relatively high bandwidth over a limited geographic area for communication. LANs are most often at a customer site. An Ethernet is a common example of a type of LAN.
Mobile Broadband - wireless high-speed internet access through a portable modem,
telephone or other device.
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) - the standard in mobile messaging services, adding photos, pictures and audio to text messages.
Network - a telecommunications network is a collection of terminals, links and nodes which
connect together to enable telecommunication between users of the terminals. Networks may use circuit switching or message switching. Each terminal in a network must have a unique address so messages or connections can be routed to the correct one.
Router - the process of selecting paths in a network along which to send network traffic. Routers are the equipment used to make this happen.
Satellite - satellite telecommunications establishments are made up mostly of government
and private organizations that transmit a variety of data through satellites, including photos of the earth, messages to and from public safety officials, and a variety of other information.
Service Management System (SMS) - a highly reliable computer system that is connected to telecommunications Network systems
Wide Area Network (WAN) - a computer or communications network that covers a
geographic area which is larger than a business campus. Usually, the dividing line between a local or campus network and a Wide Area Network is a router. On the local or campus side, the transmission lines in a network (copper or fiber) are usually owned by the enterprise
Wireless - wireless telecommunications carriers provide telephone, Internet, data, and other services to customers through the transmission of signals over networks of radio towers. The signals are transmitted through an antenna directly to customers, who use devices, such as cell phones and mobile computers, to receive, interpret, and send information.
