Applications of Networks
Introduction to Computer Networks
 Resource Sharing
 Hardware (computing resources, disks, printers)
 Software (application software)
 Information Sharing
 Easy accessibility from anywhere (files, databases)
 Search Capability (WWW)
 Communication
 Email
 Message broadcast
 Remote computing
 Distributed processing

Network Components

Transmission Media or
Networking Media
 Networking media can be defined simply as
the means by which signals (data) are sent
from one computer to another (either by
cable or wireless means.
 Wired Means – Bounded
 Wireless Means - Unbounded

Twisted Pair Cable
• Strands of copper wire twisted in pairs –
inexpensive, widely available, easy to work
with, unobtrusive – slow (low bandwidth-
10Mbps), subject to interference, easily
tapped (low security)

Twisted pair cable is rated by category, which indicates the
type of data, speed, distance and other factors that the cable
supports.
Category 3 twisted pair cabling is regular telephone cable;
higher speed and quality cabling – such as Category 5 and
Category 6 – is frequently used for home or business
networks. The pairs of wires in twisted pair wires are twisted
together to reduce interference and improve performance. To
further improve performance it can be shielded with a metal
lining.

Fiber Optic Cable / Optical Fiber
• Fiber Optic Cable is the newest and fastest of
these three types of wired transmission
media.
• It uses clear glass or plastic fiber strands, each
about the thickness of a human hair, to
transfer digital data represented by light
pulses.
• The light pulses are sent through the cable by
a laser device at speeds of billions of bits per
second.

Unguided Media: Wireless
Radio Waves
Microwaves & Satellite
Communication
Infrared

Electromagnetic spectrum for wireless communication

Radio Waves
• Radio waves are used for multicast
communications, such as radio and television,
and paging systems. They can penetrate
through walls.
• Highly regulated. Use omni directional
antennas

Microwaves
• Microwaves are used for unicast
communication such as cellular telephones,
satellite networks,
and wireless LANs.
• Higher frequency ranges cannot penetrate
walls.
• Use directional antennas - point to point line
of sight communications.

Satellite Communication
• Microwave stations designed specifically to
communication with satellites, such as for
satellite TV and satellite Internet services are
typically called satellite dish Antenna
• Communications satellites are space-based
devices launched into orbit around the
earth to receive and transmit microwave
signals to and from earth.

Transmission Media for Networking

Infrared
• Infrared signals can be used for short-range
communication in a closed area using line-of-
sight propagation.
