INTRODUCTION
The purpose of a computer communications network is to allow moving information from one
point to another inside the network. The information could be stored on a device, such as a
personal computer in the network, it could be generated live outside the network, such as speech,
or could be generated by a process on another piece of information, such as automatic sales
transactions at the end of a business day. The device does not necessarily have to be a computer;
it could be a hard disk, a camera or even a printer on the network. Due to a large variety of
information to be moved, and due to the fact that each type of information has its own
conditions for intelligibility, the computer network has evolved into a highly complex system.
Specialized knowledge from many areas of science and engineering goes into the design of
networks. It is practically impossible for a single area of science or engineering to be entirely
responsible for the design of all the components. Therefore, a study of computer networks
branches into many areas as we go up from fundamentals to the advanced levels.

MOBILE COMPUTING
DEFINITION
Using a computing device while in transit. Mobile computing implies wireless
transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile computing. Fixed
wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to transmit between permanent
objects such as buildings and towers

INTERNET TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES
VoIP

Voice over Internet Protocol

Example of VoIP adapter setup in residential network

is a general term for a family of transmission technologies for delivery of voice communications over
IP (internet protocol) networks such as the Internet or other packet-switched networks.
Other terms frequently encountered and synonymous with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony,
voice over broadband(VoBB), broadband telephony, and broadband phone.
BLOG

A blog is basically a type of website, like a forum or a social bookmarking site. As such it is defined by the
technical aspects and features around it, and not by the content published inside it.

TYPES OF NETWORK
PAN

A personal area network (PAN) is a computer network used for communication among
computer devices (including telephones and personal digital assistants) close to one's person. The
devices may or may not belong to the person in question. The reach of a PAN is typically a few meters.
PANs can be used for communication among the personal devices themselves (intrapersonal
communication), or for connecting to a higher level network and the Internet. Personal area
networks may be wired with computer buses such as USB and FireWire.
VPN

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication

infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure
access to their organization's network. A virtual private network can be contrasted with an
expensive system of owned or leased lines that can only be used by one organization. The goal of a VPN is
to provide the organization with the same capabilities, but at a much lower cost.

WLAN

A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless local area network that links two or more computers or devices
using spread-spectrum or OFDM modulation technology based to enable communication between
devices in a limited area. This gives users the mobility to move around within a broad coverage
area and still be connected to the network
WIMAX

WiMAX, meaning Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications

technology that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes,
from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet access. The technology provides up to
3Mbit/s broadband speed without the need for cables. The technology is based on the IEEE 802.16
standard (also called Broadband Wireless Access). The name "WiMAX" was created by the
WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformity and interoperability of
the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the
delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL"
CONCLUSION
We can conclude that computer networks and communication makes our life easier to
communicate with each other and the world using the computer.
