Information Age• First Industrial Revolution

– Introduction of machinery– Changed the way people worked

• Second Industrial Revolution – Information Age– Introduction of computers– Introduction of networking and data

communication– Changed the way people worked

• Faster communication Collapsing Information lag

• Brought people together Globalization

Collapsing Information Lag

1900 1950 2004-91850

huge quantities of information transmitted in a fraction of a second.

telegraph

Information took days or weeks to be transmitted

Information transmitted in minutes or hours

Electronic communications

sped up the rate of transmission of information,

growth of telecommunications and especially computer networks

Datacom Basics

Broadband Communications

Telecommunicationstransmission of voice, video, data, - imply longer distances- broader term

Data Communicationsmovement of computer information by means of electrical or optical transmission systems

convergence

Network Types (based on Scale)

• Local Area Networks (LANs) - room, building– a group of PCs that share a circuit.

• Backbone Networks - less than few kms– a high speed backbone linking the LANs at various

locations.• Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) - (< few 10 kms)

– connects LANs and BNs at different locations – leased lines or other services used to transmit

data.• Wide Area Networks (WANs) - (> few 10 kms)

– Same as MAN except wider scale
