NTC 362 WEEK 1

NTC 362 Week 1 Assignment (Individual) Presentation - Telecommunications Evolution Timeline
NTC 362 Week 1 Discussion Question # 1 - There are two kinds of switching technologies in
telecommunication: Circuit Switching and Packet Switching. Which one comes first? Which one is more
complicated? Which Switching Technology is easy to implement for voice communication?
Please see the attachment. Is it appropriate to use the analogy of train track vs. free way system to
explain Circuit Switching vs. Packet Switching?
NTC 362 Week 1 Discussion Question # 2 - On the page xxx of our text book Telecommunication
Essential, the author, Lillian Goleniewski explains the three areas of remarkable development that drive
our networking evolution. The author says,
There are three main measurements of the digital world:

Processing power, measured in the number of transistors and operations per second
Storage, measured in the number of bytes
Bandwidth, or digital data transmission, measured in bits per second

At the end, she concludes, As with CPUs (cost per MIPS) and storage (cost per KB), the cost per Kbps of
bandwidth is rapidly approaching $0.
Do you agree with the author of the trend (Cost) rapidly approaching $0? If you dont, why?
If you do, then do you believe that the cost of Processing Power, Storage Power and Networking speed,
will eventually be zero and we (normal people) will get these things for free.

NTC 362 WEEK 2

NTC 362 Week 2 Assignment - Analog & Digital Comparison
NTC 362 Week 2 Assignment - Integrative Network Design Project Part I
NTC 362 Week 2 Discussion Question # 1 - Explain digital multiplexing, the digital T(X), and SONET
hierarchy. Explain the differences between the American and European systems. Explain digital services
such as Integrated Services Digital Network, Switched Multimegabit Data System, and Switch 56.
NTC 362 Week 2 Discussion Question # 2 - What is the nature of digital signals, binary, and other
multilevel signal types? What are the advantages of digital signals over analog signals? Cover noise
suppression in your explanation.

NTC 362 Week 2 Discussion Question # 3 - Voice over the Internet Protocol (VoIP). What is VoIP and
how is it different from the Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)? What are some issues an organization
(not individuals) should analyze when evaluating the move from a traditional phone system to VoIP?
Explain the impact (positive and negative) on an organization when moving to and using VoIP.

NTC 362 WEEK 3

NTC 362 Week 3 Assignment - Protocol Paper
NTC 362 Week 3 Assignment - Integrative Network Design Project Part II
NTC 362 Week 3 Discussion Question # 1 - Select one of the types of network processors such as hubs,
switches, routers, and gateways? What are the advantages and disadvantages of your selection? What
type of media is typically used for connectivity? What are the performance specs in terms of reliability,
speed capabilities, and nominal distance for reliable spans with the typical media? Provide an example
of how the selected network processor is used in the network.
NTC 362 Week 3 Discussion Question # 2 - How would you describe "what is the internet?" How does it
works? What makes the internet the same/different (technology wise) from other packet networks?
(You may need to do additional research on different WAN technologies). What's the difference
between the internet and the world wide web?
NTC 362 Week 3 Discussion Question # 3 - What is a packet? What is packet switching? How would you
explain the concept of packet switching? What are the advantages and disadvantages of packet
switching over circuit switching?

NTC 362 WEEK 4

NTC 362 Week 4 Assignment - Integrative Network Design Project Part - III
NTC 362 Week 4 Assignment - Time Division Multiple Access, Frequency Division, Multiple Access, and
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
NTC 362 Week 4 Discussion Question # 1 - What is a LAN subnet? What are some of the strategies for a
network administrator to consider use subnetting (why do it)? What, if any, equipment is needed? Are
there other alternatives that can accomplish similar results?
NTC 362 Week 4 Discussion Question # 2 - Briefly describe WiMax. What was the original intent of
WiMax? How has it evolved? What are some of the upcoming visions for WiMax? Would you consider
WiMax as a WAN alternative? Why/why not?
NTC 362 Week 4 Discussion Question # 3 - Briefly describing the benefits of the physical media type you
chose. Briefly compare and contrast the media you chose with the others covered in the chapter.
Describe why a business would choose this media. Be specific.

NTC 362 WEEK 5

NTC 362 Week 5 Assignment [Visio] - WLAN Network
NTC 362 Week 5 Assignment - Integrative Network Design Final Paper
NTC 362 Week 5 Discussion Question # 1 - Many LAN administrators require frequent password
changes. Why? What do you think is the purpose for this practice? Is this a valid process for strong
security? Or could it be a weakness?
NTC 362 Week 5 Discussion Question # 2 - What is the importance of explicit enterprise security policies
and procedures?
NTC 362 Week 5 Discussion Question # 3 - What are the predominant electronic and physical threats to
communications networks?
