Lecture-Communication Devices

A communication device transmits analog or digital signals over telephone lines or wirelessly. Examples include modems, which allow computers to communicate over phone lines; network interface cards (NICs), which connect computers to networks; and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices, which transmit signals wirelessly. A modem converts digital signals to analog for transmission and vice versa, allowing computers to communicate remotely. A NIC installed in a computer enables it to connect to a network. Common communication devices transmit signals via technologies like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or telephone lines.

Lecture
Communication device
A communication device is a hardware device capable of transmitting an analog or
digital signal over the telephone, other communication wire, or wirelessly. The best
example of a communication device is a computer Modem, which is capable of
sending and receiving a signal to allow computers to talk to other computers over the
telephone. Other examples of communication devices include a network interface
card (NIC), Wi-Fi devices, and an access point. The examples of communication
devices are like that:

- Bluetooth devices
- Modem 
- Network Interface Card (using Ethernet)
- Wi-Fi devices (using a Wi-Fi router)

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a computing and telecommunications specification that describes how
devices such as mobile phones, computers can communicate with each other.
Bluetooth is a technology that operates at 2.4 GHz, has an effective range of
10 meters (this range can change depending on the power class), and has a transfer
rate of 1 Mbps.

The Bluetooth symbol resembles two and a half triangles pointing to the
right. The symbol was designed by Harald Bluetooth.
Below are some other examples of how Bluetooth can be used
Bluetooth headphones - Headphones that can connect to any Bluetooth device.
 Bluetooth keyboard and mouse - Wireless keyboards and mice.
 Bluetooth speaker - Speakers that can connect to any Bluetooth audio
device.
 Bluetooth car - A car with Bluetooth can make hands-free calls in the car.
 Bluetooth watch or health monitor - Bluetooth wrists devices can transmit
data over Bluetooth to other devices.

 Bluetooth lock - Door lock that can allow you to remotely lock and unlock a
door.

Modem
A Modem is a hardware device that connects a computer to the network. The main
goal for modem is to produce signal that can be transmitted easily. The working
principle of modem is like that. Our modem accepts our information and this
information refers to the digital signal. Modem converts it into an analog signal for
transferring. This is modulator procedure. Then other modem receives our analog
information. Before sending it to the computer converts this analog signal into
digital signal. It is decoder procedure and is called demodulator.

The first modem was created last century and it was called dial-up modem. These
modems requires full use of the local telephone lines and voice calls would
interrupt internet connection. Modern modems are typically DSL or cable modems.
DSL modems (Digital Subscriber Line) operate standard telephone lines. They use
wider frequency range and allow higher data transfer rate. They don’t interrupt
internet connection when voice calls. They also called broadband modems.

Commonly types of modems


Internal Modem  connects to a PCI slot on the motherboard. It demands special
driver for recognizing. Without appropriate driver it will useless or fail to work.

External Modem  connects to the computer Serial Ports or USB port. And it has to


connect to the power bunk (energy block).
Programmable Modem. All operations carry out by application software.

What are the speeds of modems?

The speed of modem is characterized with bps. Bps means bit per second. Modem
speed is measured in bps and Kbps, which is the speed the modem can send and
receive data. Dial-up modems can reach download speeds of 56 kbps. DSL
modems can download at speeds up to 10 mbps (megabits per second).

Network Interface Card


Network Interface Card is a circuit board or card that is installed in a computer. By
using it computer can be connected to the network. NIC is also known as a
network interface controller.
