Ch.7: Communication & Networks Eng. Omar El Safty Communication & Networks P1 1 Five statements about serial and parallel data transmission are made in the table below. By placing a tick (✓) in the appropriate column, select which statements refer to serial transmission and which statements refer to parallel transmission. Serial Parallel Statements (✓) (✓) Transmission method used by the memory bus inside a computer Data can be skewed (out of synch) when travelling over long distances Least expensive of the two types due to fewer hardware requirements Most appropriate if data is time-sensitive; for example, when live streaming where faster transmission rate is essential Suffers from less risk of external interference 2 178 Ch.7: Communication & Networks Eng.
