    Data Communications

    • Telecommunication refers to the transmission and reception of information over long distances through various electronic means.

    Data and Data Communication

    • Data, in the context of data communications, refers to the information or message being transmitted.

    • Data communication is the process of transmitting and receiving data electronically through a communication channel.

    Components of Data Communication

    • The five components of data communication are: • Sender: The device that initiates the communication. • Receiver: The device that receives the data. • Message: The information being transmitted. • Medium: The physical path through which the message is transmitted. • Protocol: The set of rules governing the data transmission.

    Data Representation

    • The five types of data representation discussed are: • Text • Image • Audio • Video • Multimedia

    Networks and Data Flow

    • A network is a collection of interconnected devices that can communicate with each other.
    • The three types of data flow mentioned in the text are: • Simplex: One-way communication, where only one device can transmit. • Half-Duplex: Both devices can transmit, but not at the same time. • Full-Duplex: Both devices can transmit and receive simultaneously.
