Data communication involves transmitting data from one location to another using transmission media. It requires a message, sender, receiver, medium/communication channel, and encoder/decoder. Communication media refers to the means of delivering and receiving data, including wired media like coaxial cable, twisted pair cable, and fiber optic cable, and wireless media like microwaves, satellite, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Wired communication uses physical connections like cables while wireless uses technologies like radio frequencies.

COMMUNICATION MEDIA

2. DATA
Information in raw or unrecognized form(such as alphabets, numbers or
symbols) that refers to, or present, conditions, ideas or objects.
COMMUNICATION
Communication is sending and receiving information between two or
more people.
The person sending the message is reffered to a the sender.
While the person receiving the information is called receiver.

3.  The process of transferring data from one location to
another location is called data communication. In this
process data is transmitted from on location to
another by using transmission media.

5.  MESSAGE
The message is the data or information to be communicated . It
may consists of text, numbers ,pictures ,sounds ,video or any a
combination of these.
 SENDER
Sender is a device that sends message. The message may consists
of txt , numbers ,pictures etc. It is also called SOURCE or
TRANSMITTER. Computer is used as sender in data
communication system.
 RECEIVER
Receiver is a device that receives message. It is also called SINK.
The receiver can be computer , printer or another computer
related device. The receiver must be capable of accepting the
message.
COMPONENTS

6. MEDIUM
Medium is the physical path that connects sender and receiver. It is used
to transmit data. The medium can be a copper wire , a fiber optic cable ,
microwaves etc .
ENCODER
The encoder is a device that converts digital signal in a form that can
pass through a transmission medium.
DECODER
The decoder is a device that convert the encoded signals in to digital
form. The receiver can understand the digital form of message. Sender
and receiver cannot communicate successfully without encoder and
decoder
