Data Communication
Data communication is the transfer of data or
information between a source and a receiver. The
source transmits the data and the receiver receives
it. Data communication is interested in the transfer
of data, the method of transfer and the preservation
of the data during the transfer process.
Prerequisites
Basic computer concepts like what is keyboard,
mouse, monitor, input, output, primary memory
card and secondary memory, how to send or
receive email, how to operate a computer etc.
Purpose of Data Communication
The purpose of Data Communication is to provide
the rules and regulations that allow computers with
different disk operating systems, languages, cabling
and locations to share resources. The rules and
regulations are called protocols and standards in
Data Communications.
Fundamental Characteristics of Data
Communication
The communicating devices must be part of a communication
system made up of a combination of hardware and software. The
effectiveness of a data communication system depends on the three
fundamental characteristics.
1.Delivery: The system must deliver data to the correct destination.
Data must be received by the intended device or user and only by
that device or user.
2. Accuracy: The system must deliver data accurately. Data that
have been altered in transmission and left uncorrected are rustles.
3. Timeliness: The system must deliver data in a timely manner.
Data delivered late are useless. In the case of video, audio, and
voice data, timely delivery means delivering data as they are
produced, in the same order that they are produced, and without
significant delay. This kind of delivery is called real-time
Computer Network
A system of interconnected computers and
computerized peripherals such as printers is called
computer network. This interconnection among
computer facilitates information sharing among
them. Computers may connect to each other by
either wired or wireless media.
Categories of Computer Network
There are mainly four types of computer
network categories.
1. PAN(Personal Area Network)
2. LAN(Local Area Network)
3. WAN(Wide Area Network)
4. MAN(Metropolitan Area Network)
PAN
(Personal Area Network)

Personal Area Network is a network


arranged within an individual
person, typically within a range of 10
meters. It is used for connecting the
computer devices of personal use is
known as Personal Area Network.
Thomas Zimmerman was the first
research scientist to bring the idea of
the Personal Area Network. It covers
an area of 30 feet. Personal
computer devices that are used to
develop the personal area network
are the laptop, mobile phones, media
player and play stations.
LAN
(Local Area Network)

Local Area Network is a group of


computers connected to each other in
a small area such as building, office.
LAN is used for connecting two or
more personal computers through a
communication medium such as
twisted pair, coaxial cable, etc. It is
less costly as it is built with
inexpensive hardware such as hubs,
network adapters, and ethernet cables.
The data is transferred at an
extremely faster rate in Local Area
Network. It provides higher security.
WAN
(Wide Area Network)

A Wide Area Network is a network


that extends over a large
geographical area such as states or
countries. It is quite bigger
network than the LAN. It is not
limited to a single location, but it
spans over a large geographical
area through a telephone line,
fiber optic cable or satellite links.
The internet is one of the biggest
WAN in the world. It is widely used
in the field of Business,
government, and education.
MAN
(Metropolitan Area Network)
A metropolitan area network is a
network that covers a larger
geographic area by interconnecting
a different LAN to form a larger
network. Government agencies use
MAN to connect to the citizens and
private industries. In MAN,
various LANs are connected to
each other through a telephone
exchange line. The most widely
used protocols in MAN are RS-
232, Frame Relay, ATM, ISDN,
OC-3, ADSL, etc. It has a higher
range than Local Area
Network(LAN).
