 WHAT IS COMPUTER
NETWORKS?

A computer network is a group of

interconnected nodes or computing
devices that exchange data and resources
with each other. A network connection
between these devices can be
established using cable or wireless media.
INTRODUCTION
• Data Communications refers to the transmission of this digital facts between
two or more computers and a pc network or statistics network is a
telecommunications community that approves computers to exchange data.
• The physical connection between networked computing devices is set up
using either cable media or wireless media.
