Define data communication with examples.
Data communication is process of transferring data between computers and other electronic devices.
eg: chat, email.
what is telecommunication? Write its examples.
Telecommunication is the process of transmitting information over a long distance. Example : mobile phone , radio etc.
Components of data communication
Data, Sender, Receiver, Protocol and Medium
What are the modes of data transmission?
- Simplex mode
- Half Duplex mode
- Full Duplex mode.
What are the communication media
- Guided (wired)
- Unguided (wireless)
Types of guided media
- Twisted pair cable
- Co-axial cable
- Fiber optic cable
Any three unguided transmission media
- Radio wave
- Satellite communication
- Micro wave, Infrared..
Two types of twisted pair cable
- Shielded twisted pair or STP (RJ 45)
- Unshielded twisted pair or UTP (D-shell)
Where is co-axial cable mainly used ?
Co-axial cable is mainly used for cable tv
Write features of fiber optic cable.
- It is the widely used cable nowadays.
- It uses light to carry the signal so it is the fastest cable. 3. It
Does radio waves transfer through wall?
Yes radio waves transfer through wall
what is bandwidth and does radio wave have higher bandwidth or lower bandwidth?
Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data transmitted over internet over within an specified time.
Radio waves have lower bandwidth
Can microwave transfer or pass through wall?
No, microwave cannot transfer through wall.
Does micro wave have higher bandwidth or lower bandwidth? and write its examples
Microwave have higher bandwidth. Microwaves examples: Bluetooth, Wifi devices
What is laser technology in data communication?
Laser technology for data communication involves using laser beams to transfer information over various distances, from short range to long range.
Does laser technology have higher bandwidth or lower bandwidth?
Laser technology have higher bandwidth.
Define computer network
Computer network is the group of computers connected through wire or wireless media in order to share or communicate information by following protocols
advantages of computer network
- Computer network enables us to share hardware devices such as printers.
- Computer network has allowed us to communicate people all over the world.
disadvantage of computer network
- Initial setup cost is very high for computer network
- Skilled person is required to handle the computer network
