Wired and Wireless‚ What’s the Difference? The main difference between a wired and wireless data communication infrastructure is the existence of physical cabling. The same or similar techniques are employed for both types of data communication infrastructure in terms of the core elements of essential network services. The basic difference between a wired and a wireless network is self-explanatory. A wired network uses wires to communicate whereas a wireless network uses radio waves. Another difference

sought to find a reasonable (and soon profitable) solution to the proprietary incompatibility of emerging information system networks. Although the networking of our information systems has many different areas for study‚ this paper is about Ethernet. In it‚ I will discuss the basic components of an Ethernet connection. How they work and how they don’t. The Ethernet connection was invented in the 1970’s by the big corporations of the day; Intel‚ IBM‚ and Digital equipment. They worked together

TYPES OF COMPUTER NETWORKS Maninder Kaur professormaninder@gmail.com What is Network? • A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources (such as printers and CDs)‚ exchange files‚ or allow electronic communications. • The computers on a network may be linked through cables‚ telephone lines‚ radio waves‚ satellites‚ or infrared light beams. Different Types of Networks • Depending upon the geographical area covered by a network‚ it is classified as: – Local

Computers are not only needed to do homework‚ but they have also become essential tools for work‚ social life‚ and everyday tasks. With the help of technology‚ computers now allow us to share information (emails‚ documents‚ etc.)‚ resources and software applications in just seconds. This sharing often occurs through

Types of Networks Title of Paper Networks are the connections between two devices. How they are interconnected changes the type of network‚ while the principle is the same as our communication. Networks are made to exchange information in the shortest path possible with the best replication of the original data. Local Area Networks (LAN)‚ Wide Area Networks (WAN)‚ Campus Area Networks (CAN)‚ Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) and Home Area Networks (HAN) are all varieties of how devices can be interconnected

INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK TYPES Research Paper #1 Prepared for Professor Jewett Prepared by Anissa Truitt COOP Semester: Spring 2007 The article basically describes the different types of networks. It states "nearly every type of design is referred to as an ¬area network". The main networks discussed are‚ LAN and WANs. According to the article‚ these were the original categories of area networks. LAN‚ which stands for Local Area Network‚ connects devices over a relatively short

TYPES OF COMPUTER NETWORKS: A computer networks is a communication system connecting two or more computers that work together to exchange information & share resources. A network may consist of microcomputers or it may integrate microcomputers or other devices with large computer. Networks can be controlled by all nodes co-ordinarily & supply all resource. These networks differ in geographical size. There are three important types of networks. 1. Local Area Network 2. Metropolitan Area
