Communications over the telephone network.
Some of the widely used network communication.

3. What is a communication device?
It is any type of hardware capable of transmitting data, instructions and information between a sending device and a receiving device.

4. Examples of communication devices:
1- Dial – Up Modems :
It is a communication device that can convert digital signals to analog signals and analog signals to digital signals.

5. 2- Digital Modems: ISDN, DSL and Cable
A communication device that sends and receives data and information to and from a digital line.
DSL modem
Cable modem

6. 3- Wireless Modems:
Wireless modems, which have an external or built in antenna, are available as USB flash drive, Express Card modules, PC Card and memory cards.

7. 4- Network Cards
Sometimes called a network interface card , is a communication device that enable a computer or device that does not have built- in networking capability to access a network.

8. 5- Wireless Access Points:
A central communication device that allows computers and devices to transfer data wirelessly among themselves or to a wired network.

9. 6- Routers:
It is a communication device that connect multiple computers or other routers together and transmits data to its correct destination on a network.

10. Communications over the telephone network:
Dial-Up Lines
DSL
Dedicated Lines
FTTP
ATM
ISDN Lines

11. Dial Up Lines: Temporary connection Not permanent
cost = regular telephone call

12. Dedicates Lines: -always on connection -Constant connection
-Can be either analog or digital

13. ISDN Lines : For small business Faster transfer rates
With it, the telephone line carries three or more signals
“multiplexing”

14. DSL: Fast speeds on existing standard.
provide both voice and data comm.

15. An optical terminal at your location receives the signals..
FTTP:
Uses fiber-optic cable to provide high- speed access.
With FTTP service:
An optical terminal at your location receives the signals..

16. ATM: - Carries voice, data, video, and multimedia .
Used by telephone networks, the internet and other.
the internet standard for data transmission.

17. Some of the widely used network communication:
1- Ethernet
2- Bluetooth

18. 1- Ethernet ..
Ethernet is a protocol that controls the way data is transmitted over a local area network (LAN).
It uses wires
(meaning it is not a wireless technology).

19. 2- Bluetooth :
is a short-range wireless radio technology that allows electronic devices to connect to one another. Generally, Bluetooth has a range of up to 30 ft. or greater, depending on the Bluetooth core specification version. Newer devices, using newer versions of Bluetooth, have ranges over 100 ft.
