DEFINITION of DATA DEFINITION of DATA COMMUNICATIONCOMMUNICATION
“Data Communication is the exchange of Information from one entity to the other using a Transmission Medium”
LOCAL and REMOTE LOCAL and REMOTE CommunicationCommunication
LOCAL– Communicating devices are present in the same
building or a similarly restricted geographical area.– When the source and destination are in the same
network
Data Communication Data Communication Definition (Modified)Definition (Modified)
“Data Communication is the exchange of data (in the form of 0’s and 1’s) between two devices (computers) via some form of the transmission medium.”
LOCAL and REMOTE LOCAL and REMOTE CommunicationCommunication
REMOTE– Communicating devices are present farther apart.– When the source and destination are in the different
network.
Data Communication Data Communication SystemSystem
For Data Communication to occur, communicating devices must be a part of a system made up of some specific kind of hardware and software. This system is known as
“DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM”
Effectiveness of Data Effectiveness of Data Comm. SystemComm. System
Delivery (the data you send and it is received to the destination)
Accuracy (what you send the same is received and there is no error)
Timeliness (the data reach to the destination in good time).

A Data communication system is made up of 5 components: Message Sender Receiver Medium Protocol
Components of a Data Components of a Data Communication Communication
SystemSystemMessage: It is the data which the source send to destination
Sender: a device which sends the data. Receiver: a device which receive the data. Medium:
the path through which the data is traveling from sender to receiver.
Protocol:Set of rules that govern communication or set of rules
that makes the communication both possible and efficient.
Transmission mediaTransmission media
Guided media unguided media
Twisted pair cable optical fiber water, air, vacuum coaxial cable
Shielded twisted pair Thick net Single mode Unshielded twisted pair Thin net Multimode
Transmission MediaTransmission Media
Medium Speed Cost
Twisted Wire 100bps-1000Mbps Low
Coaxial Cable 56Kbps-200Mbps Low
Fiber Optic Cable 500Kbps-10Gbps High
Wire Based MediaWire Based Media
Twisted-pair cable Most common LAN cable Called Cat5 or 100BaseT Four pairs of copper cable twisted May be shielded from interference
(polyester/aluminum) Speeds range from
1 Mbps to 1000 Mbps Twisted to remove the cross talk UTP and STP are types of twisted pair
Coaxial cable Also called coax Similar to cable TV wire One wire runs through cable Shielded from interference Speeds up to 200 Mbps Nearly obsolete Expensive than Twisted pair
Wire Based MediaWire Based Media
Wire Based MediaWire Based Media Fiber-optic cable
Data is transmitted with light pulses (signals)
Glass strand instead of cable Protected to interference Very secure Hard to work with Speeds up to
10 Gbps
A Simple data A Simple data communication Modelcommunication Model
SourceA device which generate data
TransmitterIs a device which takes data from source and convert it into a form
that is transmutable over transmission media
Transmission systemIs the path available between source and destination and through
which the data can travel.
Receiver Is a device that takes data from transmission system and convert it
into a form that is understandable by computer.
Destination It is the final point of communication.

Key Data Communication Key Data Communication TerminologyTerminology
Network: interconnected group of computers and communication devices. Can share the resources Can share the data
Node: a network-attached device that can send and receive the data. E.g. Computer, router, Switch.
Key Data Communication Key Data Communication TerminologyTerminology
Link: links are the path that connects adjacent nodes
Path: end-to-end route within a network
Circuit: the conduct over which data travels. Circuit is the path for current flow. Circuit can be open or close. Open circuit means that there is a break in the wire and current can not pass. A close circuit means that circuit is complete and current can pass
Key Data Communication Key Data Communication TerminologyTerminology
Packetizing: dividing messages into fixed-length packets prior to transmission over a network’s communication media
Routing: determining a message’s path from sending to receiving nodes
Router: router is the device that perform the function of routing and switching
