Study Notes
Mobile Internet
- By 2025, mobile connectivity could reach 4.3 billion additional users as telecom networks expand.
Cloud Technology
- Cloud services will increasingly deliver nearly all IT services and web applications.
- Public cloud adoption is rising due to improved cybersecurity measures.
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT is expected to dominate the next 50 years, building on three decades of Internet Services.
- Over 10 billion IoT devices are currently connected to the internet, with estimates suggesting growth to 50 billion to nearly 1 trillion in the next decade.
Data Communications
- Defined as the encoded transmission of data in sequences of bits (0 or 1) between computers or network processors.
Major Factors in Telecom Networks
- Key considerations include Transmission Mode (Wired/Wireless), Access Methodology (Protocols), and Network Topology (e.g., Star, Hierarchical, Mesh).
Communications Protocols
- Protocols act as communication rules ensuring meaningful connections between devices.
Network Topologies
- Various topologies:
- Direct Connection
- Star
- Hierarchical
- Mesh
Telecommunications Terminology
- Local Central Office (CO) = Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) = Telco
- Local Transmission Line = Local Loops for homes/businesses
- Long Distance Transmission = Interoffice Carrier (IOC).
Local Access Transport Areas (LATA)
- LATAs facilitate long-distance traffic segmentation post-AT&T breakup.
OSI Model
- The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model consists of seven layers that standardize networking communication.
OSI Model Layers
- Application Layer: Supports end-user applications; example protocols include X.400 (e-mail) and DNS.
- Presentation Layer: Formats message content; responsible for data encryption and translating encoding schemes.
- Session Layer: Manages interactive dialogue sessions between applications (e.g., establishes connections akin to phone calls).
- Transport Layer: Ensures reliable, end-to-end connections, error recovery, and flow control.
- Network Layer: Handles packetizing, addressing, routing, and prioritizing.
- Data Link Layer: Organizes bit streams into frames, adding header and trailer for error checking.
- Physical Layer: Transmits bits over physical connections, handling establishment and maintenance of communication links.
TCP/IP Model
- TCP/IP has five layers, starting from the Application Layer at the top to the Physical Layer at the bottom.
- This model supports various higher-level protocols and applications, including email and word processing software.
