Study Notes
-
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) internet connectivity requires proximity to a central office (CO), with speeds decreasing as distance increases and maximum limit around 10,000 feet.
-
Download speed: 52 Mbps; upload speed: 16 Mbps, but these numbers can vary.
-
Dial-up connections (using analog voice telephone lines) are much slower (56 kbps or compressed up to 320 kbps), making them difficult for mass usage.
-
Fiber internet is increasingly being used at home, offering high-speed networking, increased bandwidth, and capability for multiservice delivery (voice, video, data).
-
Fiber provides HD channel connectivity and data transfer to the cloud.
-
Satellite networking allows communication directly to a satellite for internet access, with average speeds of 50 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload, but high latency and vulnerability to rain interference.
-
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is an older type of internet connectivity with two versions: Basic Rate Interface (BRI) and Primary Rate Interface (PRI).
-
BRI consists of two 64 kbps bearer channels and a 16 kbps signaling channel.
-
PRI is delivered over a T1 or E1 connection and supports up to 23 or 30 bearer channels and a signaling channel.
-
PRI is commonly used for voice communications, especially for businesses not converting to Voice over IP (VoIP).
-
Cellular networks enable internet access from almost anywhere.
