Identify and discuss network
topology.
Network topology is the shape or structure of a network, including
the arrangement of the communication links and hardware
devices on the network.
The three most common network topologies in use today are the
star, bus, and mesh.
Identify and discuss network
topology.
• star network, all network devices connect to one
another through a single central device called the hub
node.

• bus network, all network devices are connected to a


common backbone that serves as a shared
communications medium.

• Mesh networks use multiple access points to link a


series of devices that speak to each other to form a
network connection across a large area.
Identify and discuss the different network type.

 A network can be classified as personal area, local area, metropolitan, or wide area network
depending on the physical distance between the nodes on the network and the
communications and services it provides.

• personal area network (PAN) is a • A metropolitan area network (MAN) is


wireless network that connects a network that connects users and their
information technology devices close to computers in a geographical area that
one person. spans a campus or city.
• local area network (LAN): A network • A wide area network (WAN) is a
that connects computer systems and network that connects large geographic
devices within a small area, such as an regions.
office, home, or several floors in a
building.
Identify several types of
communication media.
 The communications media selected for a network depends on the amount of information to
be exchanged, the speed at which data must be exchanged, the level of concern about data
privacy, whether the users are stationary or mobile, and a variety of business requirements.
 Transmission media can be divided into two broad categories guided (also called wired)
transmission media, in which communications signals are guided along a solid medium, and
wireless, in which the communications signal is broadcast over airwaves as a form of
electromagnetic radiation.

surrounded by insulation.
Wireless Technologies
Wireless communication is the transfer of information between two or more points that are not
connected by an electrical conductor.
Near field communication (NFC) is a very short-range wireless connectivity technology that enables
two devices placed within a few inches of each other to exchange data.
Bluetooth is a wireless communications specification that describes how cell phones, computers,
printers, and other electronic devices can be interconnected over distances of 10 to 30 feet at a
transmission rate of about 2 Mbps.
Wi-Fi is a wireless network brand owned by the Wi-Fi Alliance, which
consists of about 300 technology companies, including AT&T, Dell, Microsoft, Nokia, and Qualcomm.
Microwave is a high-frequency (300 MHz to 300 GHz) signal sent through the air.
4G Wireless Communications

Define the internet and web
technology.

internet: The world’s largest computer network, consisting of


thousands of interconnected networks, all freely exchanging
information.

Web Technology refers to the various tools and techniques that are
utilized in the process of communication between different types of
devices over the internet.
How to access the internet

You can connect to the Internet in numerous ways. Which access method you choose is
determined by the size and capability of your organization or system, your budget, and the
services available to you.

Connecting via a LAN Server


This approach is used by businesses and organizations that manage a local area network
(LAN). By connecting a server on the LAN to the Internet using a router, all users on the
LAN are provided access to the Internet. Business LAN servers are typically connected to
the Internet at very fast data rates, sometimes in the hundreds of Mbps.
Connecting via Internet Service Providers
An Internet service provider (ISP) is any organization that provides Internet access to people.
Thousands of organizations serve as ISPs, ranging from universities that make the Internet
available to students and faculty to small Internet businesses to major communications
giants such as AT&T and Comcast.
To connect to the Internet through an ISP, you must have an account with the service
provider (for which you usually pay) along with software (such as a browser) and devices
(such as a computer or smartphone) that support a connection via TCP/IP.
Wireless Connection
In addition to connecting to the Internet through wired systems such as phone lines and
fiber optic cables, wireless Internet service over cellular and Wi-Fi networks has become
common.
