 DATA COMMUNICATION

DATA COMMUNICATION
➢ The transmission of data from one location to another location is called
data communication.
➢ Communication is also called telecom or telecommunication refers to
the electronic collection and transfer of information from one location to
another.
➢ The data being communicated may consists of voice, sound, text,
video, graphics or all of them.

 DATA COMMUNICATION

WHY DATA COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANT

1. It enable the users to succeed in todays global information society
2. There is a need of electronically exchanged data between managers,
end users, customers, suppliers and other organizations
3. Help in completion of tasks, manage organizational resources &
Competition.
4. Survival is difficult without telecommunication

 DATA COMMUNICATION

APPLICATIONS OF DATA COMMUNICATION

1. Work Groups to Communicate electronically
2. Share hardware, software and data resources
3. Process sales transactions immediately from many locations
4. Exchange business documents electronically
5. Remotely monitor and control production process
6. Enhance collaboration both inside and outside of organization

DATA COMMUNICATION SOFTWARES

Data communication software manages the transmission of data between
computer. They are special types of software. They are the program that
control telecommunication activities and manages the functions of
telecommunication network.
• Telecommunication monitors for mainframe host computer
• Network operation system for microcomputer network users
• Communication packages for microcomputers

 DATA COMMUNICATION

ELEMENTS OF DATA COMMUNICATION

There are five elements of data communication
1. Sender: A device used to send the data
2. Receiver: A device used to receive the message/data
3. Channel: A medium over which the data is sent
4. Message: The message is the data that is to be transferred
5. Protocol: A set of rules that guides data communication is called
protocol

 DATA COMMUNICATION

DATA TRANSMISSION MODES

There are three types of data transmission modes
1. Simplex: A simplex transmission circuit permits data follow in only
one direction. A terminal connected to such a circuit is either a send-
only or a receive-only device.
Examples: Television broadcast

2. Half Duplex: In half duplex transmission, data travels in both direction
but only in one direction at a time.
Examples: Wireless system

3. Full Duplex: In full-duplex transmission, data is transmitted back and
forth at the same time.
Examples: Telephone talking and listening simultaneously

 DATA COMMUNICATION

TYPES OF COMMUNICATION
There are two possible ways to transmit the data from sender to receiver.
1. Parallel Transmission: In parallel transmission mode each bit to be
send on separate channel.
Here all the bits of the characters are transmitted simultaneously, thus the
transmission is parallel by bit but serial by character. It has transmitting
speed but expensive because of large number of channels are required.

PARALLEL COMMUNICATION

 DATA COMMUNICATION

TYPES OF COMMUNICATION
1. Serial Transmission: In serial transmission each bit is transmit on
single channel.
The character bit is transmitted one after another on single channel.
A. Synchronous Transmission
B. Asynchronous Transmission

SERIAL COMMUNICATION

UNICOM COLLEGE OF BUSINESS STUDIES, RUSTAM www.unicom.edu.pkk

 DATA COMMUNICATION

TYPES OF SERIAL TRANSMISSION

1. Synchronous Transmission: Synchronous means occurring
something on same time or repeatedly. In ST, large volumes of
information can be transmitted at a time. In this type of transmission,
data is transmitted block-by-block or word-by-word simultaneously.
Each block may contain several bytes of data.

TYPES OF SERIAL TRANSMISSION

2. Asynchronous Transmission: In asynchronous transmission, data is
transmitted one byte at a time. This type of transmission is most
commonly used by microcomputers. The data is transmitted character-
by-character as the user types it on a keyboard.
