Telecommunications Fundamentals Quiz

The set of rules and procedures used for communication between devices on a network.

A type of network that focuses on providing high data transfer rates.

Used to communicate over long distances, supporting various applications and network services.

A type of fiber optic network where signals are transmitted through optical fibers, using light pulses to carry data.

A network architecture where data is transmitted in small, fixed-size units called cells.

A type of digital subscriber line technology for high-speed internet access over existing telephone lines.

A protocol used for routing data packets across the internet.

A technology that helps prioritize information based on its importance, ensuring better delivery during network congestion

Refers to the management and control of network operations, including monitoring, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

A type of network architecture that allows for flexible and centralized network control.

The process of exchanging information between two or more entities, traditionally using voice, letters, or drawings.

Knowledge about subjects, topics, activities, opinions, issues, or devices. It is often considered information and knowledge.

Characters or continuous functions representing information for processing in a well-defined manner (DIN 44300).

Coded discrete characters representing data in a digital format.

It involves using telecommunication to connect computers for processing and distributed usage across remote locations.

A type of communication that involves diverse media such as audio, video, text, and graphics, where these elements are integrated and presented together.

Applications that utilize various media such as audio, video, text, and graphics to provide a rich user experience.

A way to express the ratio of two power values using a logarithmic scale.

An enclosure for protecting and housing fiber optic cables, where splicing takes place.

A type of splice cabinet that offers flexibility in accommodating different splice requirements.

A technique used to transmit signals with different wavelengths over the same optical fiber, allowing bidirectional communication.

Combining multiple data streams onto a single channel for transmission over a network.

A method for transmitting data packets from multiple users in a shared network where each user gets a specific time slot.

The downstream direction in a PON network, where data travels from the OLT (Optical Line Terminal) to the ONUs/ONTs.

The upstream direction in a PON network, where data travels from the ONUs/ONTs to the OLT.

A standard for various generations of Passive Optical Networks (PON), with increasing data transfer rates.

A network topology where the OLT (Optical Line Terminal) connects to the ONUs/ONTs (Optical Network Units/Terminals) through a shared fiber optic cable.

Sounds that do not communicate meaning, unlike speech which conveys semantics.

Sound obtained from natural sources, like recordings.

Sound created artificially, such as with computer programs.

The rate at which audio data is transferred, measured in bits per second (bps).

Techniques that reduce the size of audio files without losing too much quality.

Audio signal processing techniques where the signal is delayed intentionally to create effects or enhance sound.

A high-quality audio format that aims to reproduce the full range of sound from recordings with better detail and sound fidelity than standard CDs.

A standard that uses digital pulses to represent audio signals, often used for telephone communication.

A type of modulation technique used in ADSL technology that uses multiple levels and phases to encode data. It allows for real-time adjustment of bit rate and utilizes a frequency range from 35 kHz up to 1.1 MHz for up- and down-link communication.

A modulation technique in ADSL technology where data is split into multiple sub-frequencies called tones (typically 256). Each tone carries a specific amount of data, and the overall bit rate is achieved by combining the data from all tones. It allows simultaneous operation with traditional phone service (POTS) by using different frequency bands.

A modulation technique used in ADSL technology where two separate traffic classes are used to bypass forward error correction (FEC). This allows for faster data transmission, but it makes the system more susceptible to errors.

A technique for transmitting data over a network using multiple frequencies (tones). It is highly efficient for high-bandwidth applications and is a key feature of ADSL technology.
