Modems: Enabling
Internet Connectivity
Analog-to-Digital
Modems convert analog signals from telephone lines into
digital data that computers can understand.

Connectivity
Modems provide the essential link between a local network
and the global internet, enabling internet access.

Broadband
Modern modems support high-speed broadband
technologies like DSL and cable, delivering faster internet
speeds.
Firewalls: Protecting
Networks from Threats
1 Traffic Monitoring
Firewalls inspect all incoming and outgoing network traffic,
applying predefined security rules.

2 Access Control
Firewalls can block or allow specific types of traffic based on IP
addresses, ports, and protocols.

3 Threat Prevention
Firewalls protect networks from various cyber threats, including
unauthorized access, malware, and hacking attempts.
Conclusion: Key
Networking Devices
Recap
In this presentation, we have explored the essential networking devices
that power modern computer networks. From routers and switches to
firewalls and modems, each device plays a crucial role in facilitating
connectivity, security, and efficiency within the digital landscape.
