Data Communication Terminologies
Rate of a thousand bits per second is denoted as kbps (kilo bits per second)
Rate of a thousand bytes per second is denoted as Kbps (kilo bytes per second)
Rate of a million bits per second is denoted through mbps (mega bits per
seconds)
Rate of a million bytes per second is denoted as Mbps.

Bluetooth is a wireless short-range(upto10m)communication
technology standard. Bluetooth works by using low-power radio
waves to connect with Bluetooth enabled devices such as cell
phone, smartphone or computer etc.
 - Fully connected topology is preffered for Military networks
-Linear bus topology network (least expensive),Fully connected (most expensive)
- Linear bus topology network uses shorter lengths of cables

-Star topology is easy to expand the network.

-mostly used unshielded twisted pair

Three Basic modes of Operations:

Simplex Operation
In this a communication channel can only send information in one direction ; either from
source to destination node or vice versa.
