DATA COMMUNICATIONS
Communication: sharing information. Sharing can be local
(face to face) or remote (over distance)
Telecommunication (tele: far) means communication at a
distance (telephone, television, telegraphy).
Data refers to information presented in whatever form
is agreed upon by the parties creating and using the data.
Data communications are the exchange of data between
two devices via some form of transmission medium such
as a wire cable.
For data communication to occur, the communicating
devices must be part of a communication system made up
of a combination of hardware (physical equipment) and
software (program)

DATA COMMUNICATIONS
Effectiveness of data communication depends on :
Delivery: System must deliver data to correct
destination. Data must be received by only
intended device or user.
Accuracy: The system must deliver data
accurately
Timeliness: the system must deliver data in a
timely manner. Data delivered later are useless.
