Data Communication: Definition

Data communication involves the transfer of digital data between two or more points. It involves compression to reduce file sizes for storage and transmission, and encryption to securely transmit data. Several organizations set standards for data communication, including the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) which issues radiocommunications, telecommunications, and development standards. Other standards bodies include the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), International Standards Organization (ISO), and Exchange Carriers Standards Association (ECSA). Network standards can be de facto, arising informally, or de jure, formal legal standards adopted by a standards body.

DATA COMMUNICATION

Definition: Data information,( for example: numbers, text images and sounds), in a form that is suitable for storage in o processing by a computer Data Communication is the process of transferring digital information between two or more points. CompressionThe encoding of data so that it requires less disk space for storage and transmission Encryption the science of converting computer data and messages to something incomprehensible by means of a key, so that it can be reconverted only by an authorized recipient holding the matching key

Standard Organizations 1. International Telecommunications Union (ITU) - A voluntary, non-treaty organizations founded in 1946. - It issues standards on vast number of subjects. Three Main Sector: i. ii. iii. Radiocommunications Sector (ITU-R) Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-TSS) Development Sector (ITU-D)

2. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) - Founded in 1918, coordinates and harmonizes private sector standards development. - ANSI also serves as the U.S. representative to the International Standards Organization (ISO), the originator of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model. 3. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer (IEEE) - A worldwide professional association dealing with SONET only peripherally. - Has significant responsibility for the development of LAN standards, including FDDI which have great impact on SONET.

4. International Standards Organization (ISO) - An organization comprised of the national standards organizations (ANSI) of the various nations. The ISO heavily influences international standards set by the ITU-T, and is best known for its involvement in the OSI (Open System Interconnection) model.

5. Exchange Carriers Standards Association (ECSA) - Formed in 1984, represents the interests of the U.S. IXCs. - The ECSA T1 committee addresses issues of functionality and characteristics of interconnection and interoperability. 6. Electronic Industries Association (EIA) - Was founded in 1924 as the Radio Manufacturers Association. - The EIA is responsible for developing the RS series of standards for data and telecommunications. Network Standards De facto (Latin for from the fact) De facto standards are those that have just happened, without any formal plan. De jure ( Latin for the Law) De jure standards, in contrast are formal, legal standards adopted by some authorized standardizations body.
