10 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of a computer communications network is to allow moving information from one
point to another inside the network. The information could be stored on a device, such as a
personal computer in the network, it could be generated live outside the network, such as speech,
or could be generated by a process on another piece of information, such as automatic sales
transactions at the end of a business day. The device does not necessarily have to be a computer;
it could be a hard disk, a camera or even a printer on the network. Due to a large variety of
information to be moved, and due to the fact that each type of information has its own conditions
for intelligibility, the computer network has evolved into a highly complex system. Specialized
knowledge from many areas of science and engineering goes into the design of networks. It is
practically impossible for a single area of science or engineering to be entirely responsible for
the design of all the components. Therefore, a study of computer networks branches into many
areas as we go up from fundamentals to the advanced levels.

20 MOBILE COMPUTING
2.1 DEFINITION
Using a computing device while in transit. Mobile computing implies wireless
transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile
computing. Fixed wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to
transmit between permanent objects such as buildings and towers.

30 INTERNET TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES

3.1 VoIP
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a general term for a family of transmission
technologies for delivery of voice communications over IP (internet protocol)
networks such as the Internet or other packet-switched networks. Other terms
frequently encountered and synonymous with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet
telephony, voice over broadband (VoBB), broadband telephony, and broadband
phone.

3.2 BLOG
A blog is basically a type of
website, like a forum or a social
bookmarking site. As such it is
defined by the technical aspects
and features around it, and not
by the content published inside
it.

Example of a blog.

40 TYPES OF NETWORK
4.1 PAN
A personal area network (PAN) is
a computer network used for
communication among computer
devices (including telephones and
personal digital assistants) close to
one's person. The devices may or
may not belong to the person in
question. The reach of a PAN is
typically a few meters. PANs can
be used for communication among the personal devices themselves (intrapersonal
communication), or for connecting to a higher level network and the Internet.
Personal area networks may be wired with computer buses such as USB and
FireWire.
4.2 VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication
infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with
secure access to their organization's network. A virtual private network can be
contrasted
with an
expensive
system of
owned or
leased lines
that can only
be used by one
organization.
The goal of a VPN is to provide the organization with the same capabilities, but at a
much lower cost.
4.3 WLAN
A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a
wireless local area network that
links two or more computers or
devices using spread-spectrum or
OFDM modulation technology
based to enable communication
between devices in a limited area.
This gives users the mobility to
move around within a broad
coverage area and still be
connected to the network.
4.4 WIMAX
WiMAX, meaning Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a
telecommunications technology
that provides wireless
transmission of data using a
variety of transmission modes,
from point-to-multipoint links to
portable and fully mobile
internet access. The technology
provides up to 3 Mbit/s
broadband speed without the
need for cables. The technology
is based on the IEEE 802.16
standard (also called Broadband
Wireless Access). The name "WiMAX" was created by the WiMAX Forum, which
was formed in June 2001 to promote conformity and interoperability of the standard.
The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery
of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL".
50 CONCLUSION
We can conclude that computer networks and communication makes our life easier to
communicate with each other and the world using the computer .
