one after another and it is slower than that of parallel

transmission.

In synchronous transmission, characters are transmitted

as groups, with control characters in the beginning and at the

end of the bit train.

In a synchronous transmission, each character is

transmitted separately.

In simplex mode of communication, channel is used in one

direction.

In half duplex mode of communication, channel is used in

both directions.

both directions at the same time.

Computers are connected with each other for

communication creating the computer network. Computer
network is of three types:

network, which connects many computers of workstations and
permits exchange of data and information among themselves,
within a localized area.

computers of a large region. For example, all the branched of an
electric department of a city and the network of computers of all
the offices.

geographical locations. Internet is the best example of it.
