    Study Notes

    Telecommunications, the Internet, and Wireless Technology

    Components of a Simple Computer Network

    • A computer network consists of two or more connected computers
    • Major components:
      • Client computer
      • Server computer
      • Network interface cards (NICs)
      • Connection medium (e.g., cable or wireless)
      • Network operating system
      • Hub or switch
      • Router (device used to route packets of data through different networks)

    Key Networking Technologies

    • Client/Server Computing:
      • Distributed computing model
      • Clients linked through network, controlled by network server computer
      • Server sets rules of communication for network and provides every client with an address
    • Packet Switching:
      • Method of slicing digital messages into packets, sending packets along different communication paths, and reassembling packets at destination
      • More efficient use of network's communications capacity
    • TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol):
      • Common worldwide standard that is basis for internet
      • Enables connectivity between computers

    The Internet

    • A global network of interconnected computers and servers
    • Allows for communication, information sharing, and e-business
    • Key technologies:
      • HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): formats documents for display on web
      • HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): communications standard used for transferring web pages
      • URLs (Uniform Resource Locators): addresses of web pages
      • Web servers: software for locating and managing web pages

    Wireless Networking and Internet Access

    • Wireless computer networks and internet access:
      • Bluetooth (802.15): links up to 8 devices in 10-meter area
      • Wi-Fi (802.11): set of standards for wireless LAN and wireless internet access
    • Radio Frequency Identification (RFID):
      • Uses tiny tags with embedded microchips and antennas to transmit data
      • Common uses: automated toll-collection, tracking goods in supply chain
      • Requires special hardware and software

    Wireless Sensor Networks

    • Valuable for business due to ability to track and monitor goods, equipment, and environments
    • Enables real-time monitoring and automation of business processes
