DATA
COMMUNICATIO
Data communication refers to the process of transferring data
N
from one place to another or between two locations using
electronic and digital means. This means that Data
communication networks transmit digital data from one
computer to another.
It involves the movement of data through different types of networks such as Personal Area Network
(PAN), Local Area Network (LAN), Campus Area Network (CAN), Metropolitan Area Network
(MAN), and Wide Area Network (WAN) based on their geographic coverage.

refers to the global network of interconnected computers and
devices, facilitating communication and data exchange through
various protocols.
WHAT IS WORLD W
WEB (WWW)?
is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the
Internet. It enables users to view and navigate web pages
containing text, images, videos, and other multimedia content.
INTERNET VS
WWW
1. STRUCTURE
· Internet: The Internet is a vast network infrastructure consisting of hardware,
such as servers, routers, and cables, spanning the globe.
· WWW: The WWW is a collection of interconnected web pages hosted on web
servers worldwide. These pages are accessed using web browsers through URLs
(Uniform Resource Locators).
2. Functionality
· Internet: · It serves as the underlying infrastructure for various services,
including email, file transfer (FTP), instant messaging, and online gaming.
· WWW: · The WWW facilitates the sharing and retrieval of information through
hyperlinks, allowing users to access websites, search for content, and interact with
web applications.
INTERNET VS
WWW
3. ACCESS
· Internet: Access to the Internet requires an internet connection provided by
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) through wired or wireless means.
· WWW: Accessing the WWW involves using web browsers, such as Chrome,
Firefox, or Safari, to retrieve and display web content via URLs.
4. OWNERSHIP AND
CONTROL
· Internet: The Internet is decentralized, with no single entity owning or controlling it.
Instead, it operates through collaboration among various organizations, governments,
and stakeholders.
· WWW: While the WWW is also decentralized in terms of content distribution, it is
governed by standards and protocols developed by organizations like the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C)
INTERNET VS
WWW
5. EVOLUTION
· Internet: The Internet's evolution has led to advancements in networking
technologies, such as the transition from dial-up to broadband, the development
of IPv6, and the rise of wireless connectivity.
· WWW: The WWW has evolved from static web pages to dynamic, interactive
content, driven by technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server-side
scripting languages.
6. IMPACT
· Internet: The Internet has transformed society by enabling global communication, e-
commerce, online education, remote work, and social networking.
· WWW: The WWW has revolutionized information access, research, entertainment,
and business, empowering individuals and organizations to connect and collaborate
across geographic boundarreies.
WHAT IS
INTRANET?
An intranet is a private network that is accessible only to an organisation's staff
or members. It serves as a communication and collaboration platform,
allowing users within the organisation to share resources, information, and
tools securely. Intranets are typically built using web technologies and are
accessed through web browsers.
EXAMPLE OF INTRANET:
An example of an intranet is the one used by a large multinational corporation to connect its
geographically dispersed workforce. This intranet could include features such as employee
directories, departmental portals, discussion forums, document repositories, and internal
messaging systems.
WHAT IS
EXTRANET?
An extranet is a private network that allows authorized users from outside an
organization to securely access specific resources or services. It extends the
organization's intranet to selected external users, such as customers, suppliers, or
partners, providing them with controlled access to shared information, communication
tools, and applications.
Extranets are commonly used for collaboration, sharing documents, conducting
transactions, and managing relationships with external stakeholders.
EXAMPLE OF EXTRANET:
An example of an extranet is the online portal used by a manufacturing company to
collaborate with its suppliers. Through the extranet, suppliers can access product
specifications, submit quotations, track orders, and communicate with the company's
procurement team in real-time. This streamlined process improves supply chain
efficiency and strengthens the partnership between the company and its suppliers.

9. Cost and Infrastructure:
0
- Intranet: Costs are typically associated with internal infrastructure and maintenance, with less
emphasis on external access.
- Extranet: Requires additional investment in security infrastructure, user management, and support for
9
external access, potentially involving higher costs.
10. Examples:
1
- Intranet: Internal employee portals, corporate wikis, document repositories accessible only
to employees.
