1.0 INTRODUCTION
Computer Network
__________
Communications
Communications is about the transfer of information from a sender, across a distance, to a
receiver. Using electricity, radio waves or light, information and data in the form of codes are
transmitted through a physical medium such as wire, cable, or even the atmosphere.
Therefore, in order to make communications possible from computers, across telephones and
radios and back to computers and other digital devices again, there must be a signal translator,
which we call a modem. The modem, which is short for modulator or demodulator, converts
digital signals into analog and back again into digital signals for information to move across the
telephone line.
technology while moving as opposed to portable computers, which are only practical for use
while deployed in a stationary configuration.
iPhone 6 Plus can work properly on most GSM carriers over the world, including United States,
Canada and Puerto Rico. Its compatible bands are GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz),
UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz) and LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29).
3.2 BLOG
A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, usually maintained by an
individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as
graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can
also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more
personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web
pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an
interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although
some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music
(MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very
short posts.
4.2 VPN
VPN stands for "Virtual Private Network." (Not a competitor of UPN). This is a network term
that most computer users don't need to know, but at least you can impress your friends by talking
about it. A VPN refers to a network that is connected to the Internet, but uses encryption to
scramble all the data sent through the Internet so the entire network is "virtually" private. For
example, a large company that has offices in multiple locations may need to send data to the
different locations via the Internet. To keep the information secure, the company might first set
up a VPN with an encrypted connection. It's basically like having a secure Intranet over the
Internet.
4.3 WLAN
A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless local area network that links two or more computers or
devices using spread-spectrum or OFDM modulation technology based to enable communication
between devices in a limited area. This gives users the mobility to move around within a broad
coverage area and still be connected to the network.
For the home user, wireless has become popular due to ease of installation, and location freedom
with the gaining popularity of laptops. Public businesses such as coffee shops or malls have
begun to offer wireless access to their customers; some are even provided as a free service. Large
wireless network projects are being put up in many major cities: New York City, for instance, has
begun a pilot program to cover all five boroughs of the city with wireless Internet access.
4.4 WIMAX
WiMAX, short for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a technology that allows
wide area high-speed wireless broadband. WiMAX can be deployed over great distances to
connect users to data services, like the internet, wirelessly. Currently, WiMAX hasn't seen wide
deployment across the United States, though wireless provider Sprint has recently launched its
XOHM network based on WiMAX in Baltimore, MD. A consortium of companies, however, has
banded together to release widespread WiMAX access under the name Clearwire. WiMAX
shares few technical similarities with the similarly named technology WiFi. WIMAX is a
telecommunications technology that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of
transmission modes, from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet access.
5.0 Conclusion
Nowadays, many people use computer to do their work. In this assignment, we can know what is
the meaning of computer network and communication. Computer network is a group of
interconnected computers. Communications means the process of transferring information from
one source to another. Besides that, we also can get the meaning of mobile computing. Mobile
computing is a generic term describing one ability to use technology while moving. Some
examples of mobile computing are PDA phones and 3G mobile phones. One example of PDA
phone is BlackBerry Bold. We also can know about Internet Technology and Services. VoIP or
Voice Over Internet Protocol known as Internet Telephony. A BLOG is a type of website. It is
usually maintain by an individual with regular entries of commentary. There are four types of
network that can be used by the computer. One of them is PAN or Personal Area Network. This
network is used for communication among computer devices close to ones person. VPN stands
for Virtual Private Network. This is a network term that most computer users dont need to know.
WLAN is a wireless local area network that link two or more computers or devices. Another
network is WIMAX. It is stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. It is a
technology that allows wide area high-speed wireless broadband. When doing this assignment,
we can know about the latest development in network and communication.
