Communications (242)
The process of sharing data, programs, and information between two or more computers.
Connectivity - using computer networks to link people and resources.
The Wireless Revolution - the widespread use of mobile or wireless telephones. The single most dramatic change in connectivity and communications in the past five years
Communications systems (243) - electronic systems that transmit data from one location to another
Sending and receiving devices - originate (send) as well as accept (receive) messages in the form of data, information, and/or instructions
Communication channel – transmission medium that carries the message.
Connection devices - convert outgoing messages into packets that can travel across the communication channel and reverse the process for incoming messages.
Data transmission specifications - rules and procedures that coordinate the sending and receiving devices
Communications Channels (244)
Actually carry the data from one computer to another
Physical (wired) - a solid medium to connect sending and receiving devices.
Twisted pair - hundreds of copper wires.
Coaxial cable - a high-frequency transmission cable
Fiber-optic cable - transmits data as pulses of light through tiny tubes of glass.
Wireless (245)
Infrared - uses infrared light waves to communicate over short distances (line-of-sight)
Broadcast radio - uses special sending and receiving towers called transceivers, which send and receive radio signals from wireless devices
Microwave - communication through high-frequency radio waves and provides line-of-sight communication but over short distances. Bluetooth is a form of microwave transmission
Satellite - amplified microwaves that use point-to-point communication to relay devices (satellites) orbiting the earth. Communication interferences can occur in bad weather.
Connection Devices (247)
Modems - connection computers over analog phone lines.
The convert the computer’s digital signal to an analog transmission t
