 Identify and discuss the type of
? network

Network is a set of computer connected together for

the purposes of sharing resources , the most common
resource shared today is internet , other shared
.resources can include a printer or file server
 local area network (LAN) 
uses cables, radio waves, or infrared signals 
to link computers or peripherals, such as printers, 
within a small geographic area, such as a building or
.a group of buildings
owned and managed by a single person or 
organization
 Wide area network (WAN)
uses long-distance transmission media to link 
computers separated by a few miles or even
thousands of miles
a geographically dispersed collection of LANs 
Internet is the largest WAN; it connects millions of 
LANs all over the globe. Unlike a LAN, a WAN is not
owned by a single organization. Instead, it has a
collective ownership or management, like the
Internet
 metropolitan area network (MAN)
.a network designed for a city or town 
larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN 
owned by a single government or organization 
example : a network used to connect firehouses 
across a region or county and the network that
supports a site which informs travelers of
statewide traffic conditions
 campus area net- work (CAN)

includes several LANs that are housed in 

various locations on a college or business
.campus
.smaller than a WAN 
CANs use devices such as switches, hubs, 
.and routers to interconnect
 personal area network (PAN)
A personal area network is a computer network for
interconnecting electronic devices within an individual
person's workspace. A PAN provides data
transmission among devices such as computers,
.smartphones, tablets and personal digital assistants

.Smaller Than other networks 

.Provide an area of just 32ft 
allows an individual to connect all or most of his or 
her devices together and access the Internet or a
local network using any of the native/supported
.wireless communication techniques
 Identify and discuss network 
? topology
network topology: The shape or structure of a network,
including the arrangement of the communication links and
.hardware devices on the network
star network: A network in which all network devices connect
to one another through a single central device called the hub node

bus network: A network in which all network devices are

connected to a common backbone that serves as a shared
.communications medium
mesh network: A network that uses multiple access points to
link a series of devices that speak to each other to form a network
connection across a large area and it is divided into 2 types: (full
.mesh and partial mesh)
Ring Topology: A ring network is a network topology in which each node
connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for
signals through each node – a ring. Data travels from node to node, with each
node along the way handling every packet.

Hub and Spoke Topology: A hub-and-spoke network, often called star

network, has a central component that's connected to multiple networks
around it. The overall topology resembles a wheel, with a central hub
connected to points along the edge of the wheel through multiple
spokes.
Identify communication 
? media
Communications media are any material substance that •
carries an electronic signal to support communications
between a sending and a receiving device. The computers
and devices on the networks are also sometimes called
network nodes. Organizations can use networks to share
hardware, programs, and databases and to transmit and
receive information, allowing for improved organizational
.effectiveness and efficiency
Wireless Technologies
 ?Define the internet

computer network consists of communications media, 

devices, and software connecting two or more computer
.systems or devices
? Define web technology

Web technologies refers to the way computers/devices communicate 

with each other using mark up languages. It info It is communication
across the web, and create, deliver or manage web content using
.hypertext markup language (HTML)

A web page is a web document which is written in in HTML (hypertext 

.)markup language

It is said to have brought the world into a small village where people and 
.devices can communicate to each other seamlessly

WWW has allowed for the access of information that would have been 
impossible to find or may have been difficult to find without the www
? Discuss web application

News : The Web is a powerful tool for keeping informed about local,
state, national, and global news. It has an abundance of special-
interest coverage and provides the capacity to deliver deeper analysis
of the subject matter. Text and photos are supported by the HTML
standard. Video (sometimes called a Webcast) and audio are provided
in a browser through plug-in technology and in podcasts

Education and Training : Today, institutions and organizations at all

levels provide online education and training, which can be accessed
via PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Kahn Academy, for example,
provides free online training and learning in economics, math, banking
.and money, biology, chemistry, history, and many other subjects

Job Information : The Web is also an excellent source of job-related

information. People looking for their first jobs or seeking information
about new job opportunities can find a wealth of information online.
.Search engines, such as Google or Bing (discussed next)
Search Engines and Web Research : A search engine is a valuable tool that enables
you to find information on the Web by specifying words or phrases known as keywords,
which are related to a topic of interest. You can also use operators such as AND, OR, and
.NOT for more precise search results

Instant Messaging : Instant messaging is online, real-time communication between two

or more people who are connected via the Internet. With instant messaging, participants
build contact lists of people they want to chat with. Some applications allow you to see
.which of your contacts are currently logged on to the Internet and available to chat

Microblogging, Status Updates, and News Feeds : Referred to as a

microblogging service, Twitter is a Web application that allows users to send short text
updates (up to 140 characters) from a smartphone or a Web browser to their Twitter
.followers

Conferencing : Some Internet technologies support real-time online conferencing.

Participants dial into a common phone number to share a multiparty phone conversation
.and, in many cases, live video of the participants
? Define internet and extranet

Internet : An intranet is an internal corporate network built using

Internet and World Wide Web standards and products. Employees of
an organization can use an intranet to gain access to corporate
.information

Extranet : Such networks are referred to as extranets, which

connect people who are external to the company. An extranet is a
network built using Web technologies that links selected resources of
the intranet of a company with its customers, suppliers, or other
.business partners
