Digital Network Technologies
Benefits– Higher transmission speeds– Moves larger amounts of information– Greater economy and much lower error rates– Transmits multiple types of communications
(data, voice, video) on the same circuits

Wireless Technologies
Fiber-optic– Uses pulses of laser-generated light– Reduced size and installation effort– Vastly greater communication capacity– Faster transmission speeds– Freedom from electrical interference
Satellite Transmission– Can move massive quantities of data, audio,
and video over global networks– Especially useful in isolated areas

The Internet Revolution
The Internet is a global information superhighway
Millions of smaller, private networks
10 servers in 1991 to over 46 million today
Growing by 1 million servers per month
No central computer system
No governing body
Based on common standards

Internet Service Providers
For a monthly fee, they provide software, user names, passwords, and Internet access
Companies that specialize in providingeasy access to the Internet
One ISP can easily connect to another to obtain addresses of websites or user nodes
ISPs themselves are connected to one another through network access points

6-31
Virtual Private Network
Used to establish secure intranets and extranets– The Internet is the main backbone network– Relies on network firewalls, encryption, and
other security features to build a “pipe” through the Internet
– Creates a private network without the high cost of a separate proprietary connection
![Page 32: Telecommunications and Networks Chapter 6 Copyright © 2010 by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. McGraw-Hill/Irwin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649f515503460f94c73f92/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

6-33
Client/Server Network
Clients
– End user personal computers or networked computers
Servers
– Used to manage the networksProcessing
– Shared between the clients and servers
– Sometimes called a two-tier architectureLarger computer systems are being replaced
with multiple client/server networks
![Page 34: Telecommunications and Networks Chapter 6 Copyright © 2010 by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. McGraw-Hill/Irwin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649f515503460f94c73f92/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Peer-to-Peer Networks
Central Server Architecture
P2P file-sharing software connects all PCsto a central server
Clicking a link connects the two PCs andautomatically transfers the file to the
requesting PC
The server sends the requesting PC a list oflinks to all active peers who have the file
![Page 35: Telecommunications and Networks Chapter 6 Copyright © 2010 by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. McGraw-Hill/Irwin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649f515503460f94c73f92/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
6-35
Peer-to-Peer Networks
Pure Peer-to-Peer Architecture
No central directory or server
File-sharing software connectsone PC to another online user
When you request a file, the softwaresearches every online user, then sends
you a list of active file names
Clicking a link automatically transfers the filefrom that user’s hard drive to yours
![Page 36: Telecommunications and Networks Chapter 6 Copyright © 2010 by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. McGraw-Hill/Irwin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649f515503460f94c73f92/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Central Server Peer-to-Peer Networks
Advantages
Can better protect the integrity and security of the
content and users of the network
Disadvantages
Directory servercan be slowed or overwhelmed by
too many users or technical problems

Telecommunications Media
Twisted-Pair Wire– Ordinary telephone wire– Copper wire is twisted into pairs
Coaxial Cable– Sturdy copper or aluminum wire
wrapped with spacers to insulateand protect it
Fiber-Optic Cable– One or more hair-thin filaments
of glass fiber wrapped in a protective jacket
![Page 39: Telecommunications and Networks Chapter 6 Copyright © 2010 by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. McGraw-Hill/Irwin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649f515503460f94c73f92/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
6-39
The Problem of “The Last Mile”
Network providers use fiber optic cable as a communications backbone– Houses connected to the backbone are
wired with twisted pair– Users don’t benefit from the faster, better
technology
![Page 40: Telecommunications and Networks Chapter 6 Copyright © 2010 by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. McGraw-Hill/Irwin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649f515503460f94c73f92/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Wireless Technologies
TerrestrialMicrowave
Earthbound microwave systems transmit high-speed radio signals
Follows line-of-sight path between relay systems spaced about 30 miles apart
Communications Satellites
Serve as relay stations
Use microwave radio signals
Earth stations beam signals to the satellites
Not suitable for interactive, real-time processing
Telephone &Pager Systems
Geographic areas divided into cells
Each cell has low-power transmitter or radio relay antenna
Computers & other communications processors coordinate/control transmissions to/from mobile users
