• One type of communication device that connects a
communications channel to a sending or receiving
device is a MODEM.
• The function of MODEM is to convert digital signals to
analog signal and analog signal to digital, so that data
can travel along an analog telephone line.

• Types of MODEMs:
1. Dial up modems
2. Digital modem
3. Wireless modem
Communication Devices

• A dial-up modem converts signals between
analog and digital, so that data can travel along
an analog telephone line. Usually is in the form of
adapter card.
Communication Devices
- Modem
• A digital modem sends and receives data and
information to and from a digital line.
– Three types of digital modems are:
1. ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)
modem – use ISDN line
2. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) – use DSL line
3. Cable modem – called broadband modem, over
the cable television network.

connect to the Internet wirelessly from a notebook
computer, a smart phone, or other mobile device
• Wireless modem have an external or build-in
antenna, are available as USB flash drive.
Communication Devices
- Network Cards
• A network card enables a
computer or device that does not
have build in networking capability
to access a network.
• Available in a variety of styles:
– Desktop computer: is an adapter card
that has a port to which a cable
connects.
– Mobile computer: USB network
adapter, ExpressCard module, or PC
Card.
Communication Devices
- Wireless Access Points
• A wireless access point is a central
communications device that allows
computers and devices to transfer
data wirelessly among themselves
or to a wired network.
• It has high quality antennas for
optimal signals and suggest
positioning at the highest possible
location.
Communication Devices
- Routers
• A router connects multiple computers or
other routers together and transmits data to
its correct destination on a network.
– Example:
– Home network – router allows multiple
computers to share a single high speed
Internet connection such as through a
cable modem/DSL modem.
• To prevent unauthorized users from accessing
files and computer, many are protected by a
build-in firewall.
Communication Devices
- Hubs & Switches
• A hub/ switch is a device that provides a central point for
cables in a network.
• Larger networks typically use a hub, while smaller networks
use a switch.
• Some hubs/switches include routers. That is, the hub/
switch receives data from many directions and then forward
it to one or more destinations.
Communication Over Telephone
Network
• The public switched telephone network (PSTN) is
the worldwide telephone system that handles
voice oriented telephone calls.
• The telephone network is an integral part of
computer communication.
• Data, instructions, and information are
transmitted over the telephone network using
dial up lines or dedicated lines.

• Various types of lines that use the
telephone
• network for data communications.

Dial-up
lines

Dedicated
line
FTTP

ISDN line

T-carrier
line

ATM

DSL
Dial-up Lines vs. Dedicated Lines
• A dial-up line is a temporary connection that
uses analog telephone lines for communications.
• A dedicated line is a type of always-on
connection that uses analog or digital lines.
• A dedicated line are better than dial up because
dedicated lines provide a constant connection.
• Five types of digital dedicated lines are ISDN
lines, DSL, FTTP, T-carrier lines, and ATM.
ISDN vs. DSL
• ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) lines
is a set of standards for digital transmission of
data over standard telephone lines.
• DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) transmit at fast
speeds on standard telephone lines with both
voice and data communications.
ADSL
• ADSL (Asymmetric DSL) is a type of DSL that supports
faster transfer rates when receiving data (download)
than when sending data (upload).
• ADSL connections transmit data downstream at a much
faster rate than upstream
SDSL
• SDSL (Symmetric DSL) is a type of DSL that offers
symmetric bandwidth upstream and downstream
• SDSL connections transmit data only and does not
support analog calls.
FTTP
• FTTP (Fiber to
the Premises)
uses fiberoptic cable to
provide
extremely
high-speed
Internet
access.
FTTP
T-Carrier Lines vs. ATM
• T-carrier line is a long-distance digital telephone
line that carry multiple signals over a single
communications line.
• ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a service
that carries voice, data, video, and multimedia
at very high speeds.
Various Internet Connections
Communication Channel
• It is the transmission media on which
data, instructions travel in a communications
system.
• Common terms:
– The amount of data that can travel over a
communications channel sometimes is called the
bandwidth
– Latency is the time it takes a signal to travel from
one location to another on a network
– Transmission media consists of materials capable of
carrying one or more signals
– Broadband media transmit multiple signals
simultaneously
Communication Channel

Communication Devices - Routers • A router connects multiple computers or other routers together and transmits data to its correct destination on a network. – Example: – Home network – router allows multiple computers to share a single high speed Internet connection such as through a cable modem/DSL modem. • To prevent unauthorized users from accessing files and computer, many are protected by a build-in firewall.
  • 22. Communication Devices - Hubs & Switches • A hub/ switch is a device that provides a central point for cables in a network. • Larger networks typically use a hub, while smaller networks use a switch. • Some hubs/switches include routers. That is, the hub/ switch receives data from many directions and then forward it to one or more destinations.
  • 23. Communication Over Telephone Network • The public switched telephone network (PSTN) is the worldwide telephone system that handles voice oriented telephone calls. • The telephone network is an integral part of computer communication. • Data, instructions, and information are transmitted over the telephone network using dial up lines or dedicated lines.
  • 25. Communication Over Telephone Network • Various types of lines that use the telephone • network for data communications. Dial-up lines Dedicated line FTTP ISDN line T-carrier line ATM DSL
  • 26. Dial-up Lines vs. Dedicated Lines • A dial-up line is a temporary connection that uses analog telephone lines for communications. • A dedicated line is a type of always-on connection that uses analog or digital lines. • A dedicated line are better than dial up because dedicated lines provide a constant connection. • Five types of digital dedicated lines are ISDN lines, DSL, FTTP, T-carrier lines, and ATM.
  • 27. ISDN vs. DSL • ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) lines is a set of standards for digital transmission of data over standard telephone lines. • DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) transmit at fast speeds on standard telephone lines with both voice and data communications.
  • 28. ADSL • ADSL (Asymmetric DSL) is a type of DSL that supports faster transfer rates when receiving data (download) than when sending data (upload). • ADSL connections transmit data downstream at a much faster rate than upstream
  • 29. SDSL • SDSL (Symmetric DSL) is a type of DSL that offers symmetric bandwidth upstream and downstream • SDSL connections transmit data only and does not support analog calls.
  • 30. FTTP • FTTP (Fiber to the Premises) uses fiberoptic cable to provide extremely high-speed Internet access.
  • 31. FTTP
  • 32. T-Carrier Lines vs. ATM • T-carrier line is a long-distance digital telephone line that carry multiple signals over a single communications line. • ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a service that carries voice, data, video, and multimedia at very high speeds.
