7
 Network Basic
• Computer Networks- Transit signals
between a sender (source) and a receiver
( destination)

8
 Network Basic
• Switching - Transmission of Signal by switches
and routers

9
 Switching
• Circuit Switching and Packet Switching

• Circuit Switching and Packet Switching

Circuit Switching
networks are
mainly used for
phone calls (voice)
and Packet
Switching
networks handles
data. (example:
internet)

11
 Network Terminology
• Bandwidth
– used as a synonym for data transfer rate, the
amount of data that can be carried from one
point to another in a given time period (usually
a second).
– expressed in bits per second (bps)
– modern networks typically have speeds
measured in the millions of bits per second
(megabits per second, or Mbps) or billions of
bits per second (gigabits per second, or
Gbps).
12
 Network Terminology
• Protocol
– The standards or set of rules that govern how
devices on a network exchange information and
how they need to function in order to talk to each
other.
• TCP/IP
– Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocols
– Created by US department of Defense (DOD)
– used as a communications protocol in a private
network (either an intranet or an extranet)
13
 Network Terminology
• Broadband
– Short for Broad Bandwidth
– Means fast transmission speed
– In Contrast- narrowband
• Download speed
– How quickly data can be received from
Internet
• Upload speed
– How quickly data can be sent to Internet
14
 Network Terminology
• Mobile Broadband
– Describe various types of Wireless high-
speed internet access through a portable
modem, telephone or other devices.
– Example- WiMax, GPRS.

• First generation - 1G
1980s: 1G delivered analog voice.

15
 Network Terminology
• Second generation - 2G
Early 1990s: 2G introduced digital voice (e.g.
CDMA- Code Division Multiple Access).

• Third generation - 3G
Early 2000s: 3G brought mobile data (e.g.
CDMA2000).

• Fourth generation - 4G LTE

2010s: 4G LTE ushered in the era of mobile
broadband.

16
 Network Terminology
• Fifth generation - 5G
– 2019 : 5G meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps
peak data speeds, ultra low latency.

– up to 20 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) peak

data rates and 100+ Megabits-per-second
(Mbps) average data rates.

 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and
Wi-Fi

• WLAN transmit/receive data over airwaves

over a short distance-Wi-Fi

• Typical configuration : a transmitter with an

antenna, called a wireless access point
(WAP) connects to a wired LAN from a
fixed location or to satellite dishes that
provide an internet connection

and Wi-Fi

20
 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and
Wi-Fi

• Wi-Fi : faster but required users to be near

an open network access point

• Wi-Fi networks are a type of WLAN but not

all WLANs are Wi-Fi. Other radio
transmissions that connect local network
nodes are also WLANs.

21
Wireless Network

22
WiMAX and WiFi

23
 WiMAX and WiFi
• Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave
Access.
• Based on Wireless MAN( Metropolitan
Area Network) technology
• operate similar to WiFi, but at higher
speeds over greater distances and for a
greater number of users.

24
 WIMAX and WiFi
• telecommunications technology aimed at
providing wireless data over long
distances in a variety of ways, from point-
to-point links to full mobile cellular type
access.
• ability to provide service even in areas that
are difficult for wired infrastructure to reach
and the ability to overcome the physical
limitations of traditional wired infrastructure
25
 Internet And WWW
• Internet
– A world Wide Computer Network that
connects hundreds of thousands of smaller
networks which link each other for education,
commercial, nonprofit and military entities as
well as individuals.
• World Wide Web (Web)
– An application that runs on the internet and
support specially formatted documents in
multimedia forms.
26
Network Computing Infrastructures
• Intranet and Extranet

27
Network Computing Infrastructures
• Intranet
– a set of networks, using the Internet Protocol and
IP-based tools such as web browsers and file
transfer applications, that is under the control of a
single administrative entity.
• Extranet
– a network that is limited in scope to a single
organization or entity and also has limited
connections to the networks of one or more other
usually, but not necessarily, trusted organizations
– Virtual Private Network
28
Network Computing Infrastructures

• Intranet and Extranet

29
 Collaboration
• Virtual Collaboration

30
 Collaboration
• Virtual Collaboration
– the method of collaboration between virtual
team members that is carried out via
technology-mediated communication
– do not physically interact and communicate
exclusively through technological channels
– Distributed teams use virtual collaboration to
simulate the information transfer present in
face-to-face meetings, communicating
virtually through verbal, visual, written, and
digital means
31
 Collaboration Support Technologies

• Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Team etc
