Telecommunication
– Electronic transmission of signals for
communications
– Telecommunications device is a hardware
component that allows electronic
communication to occur
– Telecommunications medium carries an
electronic signal and interfaces between a
sending device and a receiving device

Media Types (1)
– Twisted-pair wire cable: Twisted pairs of copper wire
• Used in telephone service
• Slow transmission
– Coaxial cable: Conductor wire is insulated
• Faster than twisted-pair
– Fiber-optic cable: Thin strands of glass bound
together
• Uses light beams
• Faster than coaxial cable

Media Types (2)
– Microwave transmission: High-frequency
radio signal
• Must have unobstructed line of sight between
sender and receiver
• Possible to intervene
– Cellular transmission: Divide area into cells
• Each cell has a mobile telephone subscriber unit
• Possible to intervene
– Infrared transmission: Signals as light waves

Common Telecommunications Devices
– Modem: Translates data from digital form into
analog form (for ordinary phones) and back
• MOdulation and DEModulation
– Fax modem: Facsimile device but also a
modem
– Multiplexer: Allow several signals to be
transmitted over the same line
– PBX: Manages both voice and data transfer
• Switching equipment routes phone calls and
messages within the building

Carriers and Services
• Common carriers: Turk Telecom, AT&T
• Switched lines
– Use switching equipment to connect one phone to
another
– Switch: Special purpose circuit that directs messages
in certain directions
• Digital subscriber lines (DSL)
– Use existing lines to transmit signals over 500Kbps
– Faster Internet access

Networks and Distributed Processing
• Computer network - communications media, devices, and software
needed to connect two or more computer systems.
• Centralized processing - processing occurs in a single location or
facility.
• Decentralized processing - processing devices are placed at
various locations.
• Distributed processing - computers are placed at remote locations
but are connected to each other via telecommunications devices.

Terminal-to-Host Connection
• Host computer has the data and the processing
power
• Dumb terminal contacts host computer for jobs
Fundamentals of Information

14
File Server Connection
• The application and database reside in host
computer.
• Files transferred as a whole and processed by
the user

Client/Server Connection
• Servers have special functionalities (database
server, program execution, etc.)
• Clients request services from servers
• Clients process service results
Fundamentals of Information

16
Network Types
• Local area network (LAN)
– Same geographic area
– Wired into office buildings (unshielded twisted-pair)
• Wide area network (WAN)
– Microwave and satellite transmission
– Long-distance calls
• International network
– Transborder data flow
– International laws

Communications Software and
Protocols
• Communications software - provides a number of
important functions in a network
• Network operating system - controls the computer
systems and devices on a network and allows them to
communicate with each other
• Network management software - a manager can
monitor the use of individual computers and shared
hardware
• Communications protocol - rules and standards that
make communications possible
