Networking and Communication
Trends
• In the Past
– Firms used two fundamentally types of networks:
 Telephone Networks
– Handles voice network only
 Computer Networks
– Handles data traffic
– Firm used computer network to transmit data between
computers in different locations only.

Networking and Communication
Trends
• Today
– Telephone networks and computer networks
converging into single digital network using Internet-
based standards and technology
– Voice and data become more powerful (faster), more
portable (smaller and mobile), and less expensive.
– More than 76 percent U.S. Internet users have
broadband access with high-speed connection (up to
20 Mbps)
– Voice and data communication are increasingly taking
place over broadband wireless platforms, such as
mobile phone, mobile handheld device, PCs.

What Is a Computer Network?
• Two or more connected computers
• Major components in simple network (Figure 2.1)
– Client and server computers
– Network interfaces card (NIC s)
– Connection medium (wired or wireless)
 eg. Telephone line, coaxial cable, radio signal, Wi-Fi
– Network operating system (NO S)
 Route and manages communication on the network and
coordinate network resources.
– Hubs, switches, routers
 Acting as a connection point between the computers.

Networks in Large Companies
• Network infrastructure for a large corporate consist of
small of local area networks (LAN s) linked to other network
and to firm-wide corporate network
• Various of powerful servers support a corporate website,
corporate intranet and extranet.
• Some of these servers link to other large computers
supporting backend systems (Figure 2.1)
• Mobile wireless LAN s (Wi-Fi networks)
• Videoconferencing system
• Telephone network, wireless cell phones

Key Digital Networking Technologies
• Digital networks and the Internet are based on three key
technologies: Client/Server, Packet Switching and TCP/IP
1. Client/server computing
– is a distributed computing model
– Clients linked through network controlled by network
server computer
– Server sets rules of communication for network and
provides every client with an address so others can find
it on the network
– The Internet is largest implementation of client/server
computing

2. Packet switching
– is a method of slicing digital messages into parcels
(packets), sending packets along different
communication paths as they become available, and
then reassembling packets once they arrive at their
destination (Figure 2.3)
– Packet are transmitted over various communication
channel by using Routers and each packet travelling
independently.
– Packet will be route through many paths and network
before being reassembled into the original message
when they reach their destination.

3. TCP /IP and connectivity
– Diverse hardware and software component need to work
together to transmit information.
– Different components communicate with each other by
adhering to a common set of rules called Protocols.
– Protocol is a rules that governing transmission of
information between two points
– Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP /I P)
 is a common worldwide standard that is basis for the
Internet use by corporate network.
 develop in 1970s to support US Department of Defense
Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) to help scientist
transmit data among different types of computer over long
distance.

• TCP /I P consist of 4 layers (Figure 2.4)
– Application layer
– Transport layer
– Internet layer
– Network interface layer

Signal: Digital versus Analog
• Two ways to communicate a message in a network:
– Analog signal
 Represented by a continuous waveform that pass through a
communication medium and has been used for audio
communication.
 Common analog device – telephone handset, computer
speaker, earphone.
– Digital Signal
 is a discrete, binary waveform rather than a continuous
waveform.
 Represented by on-off electrical pulse (bit 1 or 0)

• Computer use digital signal and required modem to


convert these digital signal to analog signal that can be
sent over (or receive from) telephone line, cable line or
wireless media that use analog signals (Figure 2.5)

Types of Networks CUpZo

• Four types of networks


– Local area networks (L A N s)
 Connect a few computers in a small office, all
computers in one building or all the computers
in several building in close proximity.
 Area: up to 500 meters; an office or floor of
building

– Wide area networks (W A N s)


 Span broad geographical distance, continents
or the entire globe.
 Computers are connected via public networks
such as telephone system, private cable
system, through lease line or satellites.

continue
– Metropolitan area networks (M A N s)
 Span a metropolitan area
 Usually a city and its major suburbs
 It scope is between WAN and LAN

– Campus area networks (C A N s)


 Connect within a college campus or
corporate facility
 Up to 1000 meters

Wireless Computer Networks
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
has established a hierarchy of complementary standards for
wireless computer networks. 

Copyright © 2020, 2018, 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Wireless Computer Networks
• Bluetooth (802.15)
– Useful for creating personal area networking (P AN s)
– Has low power requirement
– Links up to 8 devices within 10-m area using low-
eter

power, radio-based communication and can transmit up


to 722 Kbps in 2.4Ghz band.
– Has been use in large corporations such as FedEx
drivers which use Bluetooth to transmit the delivery
data captured by their handheld computers to cellular
transmitters.
– Example of device use Bluetooth technology : (Figure

• Wi-Fi (802.11)
– Set of standards: 802.11
– Used for wireless LAN and wireless Internet access
– In most WiFi communication, wireless devices connecting to
a wired LAN using access points (Figure 2.8)
– An access point is a box consisting of a radio
receiver/transmitter and antennas that link to a wired
network, router or hub.
Standard Speed Effective indoor Effective outdoor
range range
802.11 2 Mbps 20 meters 100 meters
802.11b 11 Mbps 35 meters 120 meters
802.11g Up to 54 Mbps 38 meters 140 meters

Radio Frequency Identification (R F I
D)
• Use tiny tags with microchips containing data about an item
and location
• Enable to transmit radio signals over a short distances to
RF I D readers (Figure 2.9)
• RFID readers then pass the data over a network to a
computer for processing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpGLd
• Common uses: J2J0R0
– Automated toll-collection
– Tracking goods in a supply chain
• Use low power transmitter to read data store in a tag.
• Reduction in cost of tags making RFI D viable for many firms

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN s)
• Networks of hundreds or thousands of interconnected
wireless devices (Figure 2.10)
• Used to monitor building security, detect hazardous
substances in air, monitor environmental changes, traffic,
or military activity
