Fundamentals of Telecommunications
Key Terms Telecommunications Networking media Analog signal Digital signal Bandwidth Broadband
Telecommunications
Telecommunications: refers to the electronic transmission and reception of signals for communications.
Types of Signals
Analog Signal: transmits sound using continuously varying levels of voltage. Digital Signal: transmits data using two discrete states of voltage: high and low.
Signal Frequency
Frequency: the speed at which a signal changes from high to low. Bandwidth: the range of signal frequencies that can be sent over a given medium at the same time.
Often expressed as bits per second Broadband: typically 2 5 Mbps
Broadband
Broadband or highspeed Internet refers to a connection that is always on or active, such as cable or DSL.
The huge array of digital records maintained by modern hospitals, including patient records and digital images from X-rays, MRIs, and other medical procedures, requires broadband networks to transfer records between locations.
Networking Media, Devices, and Software

Key Terms Twisted pair cable Coaxial cable Fiber-optic cable Radio wave Modem Network adapter Microwave transmission Communications satellite Ethernet
Networking Media
Twisted Pair
consists of pairs of twisted wires covered with an insulating layer.
Coaxial cable
consists of an inner conductor wire surrounded by insulation, a conductive shield (usually a layer of foil or metal braiding), and a cover.
Fiber Optic
consists of extremely thin strands of glass or plastic bound together in a sheathing (a jacket), transmits signals with light beams.
Radio Wave
A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave transmitted through an antenna at different frequencies.
Radio Waves
Radio waves use differing frequencies to carry many types of information:
AM & FM Radio Short Wave & CB Radio Television Broadcasts Garage Doors Openers Baby Monitors Cordless Phones Cell Phones Radio Controlled Cars and Airplanes Global Positioning Systems Wireless Computer Networks Microwave Communications Emergency communications Satellite communications Wireless clock systems

Networking Devices
Modem: modulates and demodulates signals from one form to another. Network Adapter is a computer circuit board, PC card, or USB device installed in a computer so that the computer can be connected to a network.
Networking Devices
Network Control Devices:
Hub/Switch
Controls flow of data between devices on a network
Router
Routes packets to destinations and connects one network to another
Wireless Access Point

Allows devices to connect wirelessly to a wired network
Network Control Devices

For multiple computers to communicate, special devices are required to ensure that information that is sent reaches its destination quickly and securely.
Microwave Transmission
Microwave transmission, also called terrestrial microwave, is a lineof-sight medium, which means that a straight line between the transmitter and receiver must be unobstructed.
Microwave Communications
High-frequency radio signals sent up to 30 miles through the air.
Line-of-sight communications
Satellite Transmission
Line-of-sight required
Networking Software
Network administrators are responsible for setting up and maintaining the network. A network operating system coordinates the network components to support telecommunications.
Networking Management Software

With network management software, a manager on a networked desktop can monitor the use of individual computers and shared hardware (such as printers), scan for viruses, and ensure compliance with software licenses.
Wireless Telecommunications Technologies

Key Terms Cellular network & carrier Global positioning system Wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) 4G Technologies Bluetooth Infrared Transmissions Radio frequency identification Near-field communications (NFC)
Cell Phone Technologies

A cellular network is a radio network in which a geographic area is divided into cells, with a transmission tower and station at the center of each cell, to support mobile communications.
Cellular Networks and Carriers

A cellular carrier is a company that builds and maintains a cellular network and provides cell phone service to the public.
GSM and CDMA

Standards for cell phone networks are GSM and CDMA. GSM is the most popular global standard for mobile phones. The CDMA networking standard is predominantly used in the United States where it is in equal competition with GSM.
Wireless Technologies
The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses satellites to pinpoint the location of receivers on earth.
Google Latitude uses GPS to discover friends current locations.
Wireless Fidelity (IEEE 802.11s), or Wi-Fi, is wireless networking technology that makes use of access points to connect devices to networks.
WiMAX and Long Term Evolution (LTE), are fourth-generation (4G) Internet access over large areas. You will be able to receive high-speed Internet at home, work, in the car, on the street, in restaurants, businesses and everywhere you travel over one wireless network.
WiMAX
WiMAX, which stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, also known as IEEE 802.16, is a next-generation wireless broadband technology that is both faster and has a longer range than Wi-Fi. WiMAX is built on Wi-Fi standards and is able to interoperate with Wi-Fi networks.
Bluetooth is wireless technology that enables a wide variety of digital devices to communicate directly.
Once the Lexus pairs with your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, you can make calls using the touch screen shown here, controls on the steering wheel, or voice commands.
Infrared (IrDA) technology utilizes infrared rays to send data over a short distance wirelessly.
14 ft range Narrow-angle cone (30o) Line-of-sight 4-16 Mbps www.mzoop.com
Radio Frequency ID (RFID) uses tiny transponders in tags that can be attached to merchandise or other objects and read using an RFID receiver or reader for the purpose of identification.
Near Field Communication (NFC)

NFC is a short range wireless technology that is designed for private communications at short range, such as making payments by swiping a cell phone across a pad.
Networks and Distributed Computing

Key Terms Distributed Computing Cloud Computing Personal Area Network Local Area Network Intranet Virtual Private Network (VPN) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) Wide Area Network (WAN)
Network Concepts
A computing system that may be distributed over components in one small business building, or around the world on a network operated by a global corporation refers to Distributed Computing.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing utilizes Internet-based service providers to deliver information and computing services, including software, business systems, and data storage, for business and personal use.
Network Types
Personal Area Network (PAN)
The wireless interconnection of personal information technology devices within the range of an individual. Mostly associated with Bluetooth technology.

Network Types
Intranet A private network that utilizes Internet and Web protocols and software. Virtual Private Network (VPN) Uses the Internet to connect an organizations networks dispersed around the world into one large intranet.
Network Types
A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) connects networks within a city or metropolitan-size area into a larger high-speed network.
Network Types
Wide Area Network connects LANs between cities, cross country, and around the world using microwave and satellite transmission or telephone lines.
