What is data communication? How does data communication work?

Data communication

Data communication is the process of transferring any data from one end to another end or from one computer to another computer or from one device to another device or from one person to another. Here, data refers to the electrical form of information stored in a computer. Communicating devices consist of hardware and software for data communication. The performance of data communication system mainly depends on three characteristics. For example:

(i) Delivery: The system must deliver the data to the right end.

(ii) Accuracy: The system must deliver data accurately.

(iii) Timelines: The system must deliver timely data.


Main element of data communication and work: A data communication system usually consists of five elements; namely--

(i) Message, 

(ii) Source and sender of data, 

(iii) Receiver of data, 

(iv) Medium, 

(v) Protocol


(1) Message: The message is what is sent. Messages can be of various types, such as text, image, audio/sound, video etc.

(2) Source and sender of data: The place from which the data is collected is called the source. The data collected from the source is called source data. The device or computer from which the data is sent is called the sender. Data is sent from the sending device. There can be different types of sending devices; For example, computers, telephone sets, etc. Computers, terminals etc. are used as senders.

(3) Data receiver or receiver: The source or sender of data using data communication medium, to whom or to which the computer sends the data i.e. the computer that receives the data can be identified as the data receiver or receiver. For example, computers, telephone sets, etc.

(4) Medium: The medium is the path (physical or wireless) through which data is sent from the sending device to the receiving device. For example, twisted pair, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable or air/wireless etc.

(5) Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules that communicating devices follow. A computer is a data processing device. Computer processed data is transmitted from one end to another through a transcript system. The components of data transcript system are- modem, transmitter, switch, receiver etc.

What are the things to consider when buying a WiFi or broadband router for home, office, park and restaurant ?

Today we talk about What are the things to consider when buying a WiFi or broadband router for home, office, park and restaurant .I never like huge introduction about any topic . I always like very shortly introduce any-things to my viewers without any-type boring .So let's began the leanrning :- 1. Decide in advance how many devices you will use. 2. Decide how much space you need coverage. 3. Understand the structure of your home. WiFi signals become weak to penetrate the walls. That is why good coverage is not available. If you have a lot of walls in your house and you want to get coverage in the whole house, then you need a router with high power and wall penetration feature. 4. Decide what features you need in addition to the internet connection. Such as: - 4.1 3G 4G Modem Support- There are many routers that can use the modem. Those routers have a USB port and a one port so that broadband lines can be used. But remember that the modem must have the ability to auto-connect. Not...

What should the processor look at?

The things that we all should keep an eye on are the processor or not; 1. Clock speed 2. Number of course 3. cache memory 4. FBS 1. Clock Speed: It is also called GH2. All processors are written on. Clock speed means how fast your computer can work. That's what this signal means. The speed of the processor is known through this clock speed, how fast the calculation can be done. 2. Number of Cores: The more cores the processor has, the faster the processor can work. If I give an example to explain the matter, I hope you can understand it very easily. Suppose if a person had many hands, then he could do many things at the same time. That is, if we go to the market and buy a smartphone, then we will see what the configurations of the phone are. If we look closely at the configuration of the smartphone, we will see that Dual Core Processor, Quad Core Processor, Octa core processor, Hexa core processor, Deca core processor. This means that the dual core processor has two arms or cores, ...

What is transmission media? Introduction to different types of data transmission cables

Transmission media: When a PC communicates or wants to communicate with another PC, it has to take the help of some transmission media. The most commonly used media in the network are twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable. Nowadays, the use of optical fiber is increasing greatly. Radio wave, microwave and infrared technologies are prominent among wireless media. Among these mediums, optical fiber has the highest data transfer speed. The type of medium used in a network depends on the type and location of that network. The connection system for exchanging information between the sender and the remote receiving end is called a channel. The means or methods used to implement the channel are called media. such as-- (i) Cable or wire. (ii) Common telephone lines. (ii) Radio waves. (iv) Microwave. (v) Geo-satellite systems etc. Cable or Wire: Cable is an important medium in data communication. Cables are generally used for data transfer over short range networking such as LAN...
