1.0 Introduction

-Meaning of computer network : A computer network is a system of interconnected

computers and peripheral devices. For example, it may connect computers, printers, scanners
and cameras. Using hardware and software, these interconnected computing devices can
communicate with each other through defined rules of data communications. In a network,
computers can exchange and share information and resources. A computer network may
operate on wired connections or wireless connections. When two or more networks are linked
or connected and are able to communicate with one another using suitable hardware and
software, it is called an internetwork.

-Meaning of communication : Communications is about the transfer of information from a

sender, across a distance, to a receiver. Using electricity, radio waves or light, information
and data in the form of codes are transmitted through a physical medium such as wire, cable,
or even the atmosphere. Therefore, in order to make communications possible from
computers, across telephones and radios and back to computers and other digital devices
again, there must be a signal translator, which we call – a modem. The modem, which is short
for modulator or demodulator, converts digital signals into analog and back again into digital
signals for information to move across the telephone line.
2.0 Mobile Computing

2.1 Definition

Mobile computing is human–computer interaction by which a computer is expected to be

transported during normal usage. Mobile computing involves mobile communication, mobile
hardware, and mobile software. Communication issues include ad hoc and infrastructure
networks as well as communication properties, protocols, data formats and concrete
technologies. Hardware includes mobile devices or device components. Mobile software
deals with the characteristics and requirements of mobile applications.

3.0 Internet Technology and Services

3.1 VoIP

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using
a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. Some VoIP
services may only allow you to call other people using the same service, but others may allow
you to call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile, and
international numbers. Also, while some VoIP services only work over your computer or a
special VoIP phone, other services allow you to use a traditional phone connected to a VoIP
adapter.

3.2 BLOG

A blog (web log or weblog) is one of the popular activities on the Internet. Most of these
blogs are publicly shared and the authors frequently update the content on a regular basis. A
blog is usually referred to the text produced by the author about his or her thoughts,
experiences or interests. The world of blogging is referred as blogosphere. Another new term
is the blogonomics, which refers to people using the blogosphere to generate money. The
posts to a blog are usually arranged in this order, the most recent entries will always be on top
of the journal.
4.0 Types of network

4.1 PAN

A Personal Area Network (PAN) is a computer network used for communication among
computer devices including PCs, laptops, printers, telephones, digital cameras, mobile
phones, video game consoles and personal digital assistants, close to one person. PAN may
be wired with USB port, Firewire port, Infrared (IrDA) and Bluetooth technologies.
Bluetooth is the popular wireless PAN used by most people, especially the mobile phone
technologies, and it applies the IEEE 802.15.1 standards.
4.2 VPN

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication

infrastructure, such as the Internet, to remote offices or individuals with secure access to their
organisation's private network. VPN uses tunnelling mechanism to maintain privacy and
security of the data. Tunnelling means transmitting data packets across a public network.
VPN is often used by companies to provide access from their internal network resources to
their home or mobile workers.

4.3 WLAN
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more
devices using a wireless distribution method (often spread-spectrum or OFDM radio) within a
limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building. This gives users
the ability to move around within a local coverage area and still be connected to the network,
and can provide a connection to the wider Internet. Most modern WLANs are based on IEEE
802.11 standards, marketed under the Wi-Fi brand name.

4.4 WIMAX

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is the industry term for
broadband wireless access network that is developed based on the IEEE 802.16 standard.
WiMAX is a Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) technology that will connect WiFi
hotspots to the Internet and provides a wireless extension to cable and DSL for larger
broadband access. WiMAX would operate similar to WiFi but at higher speeds, over greater
distances and for a greater number of users.
5.0 Conclusion

We can conclude that computer networks and communication makes our life easier to
communicate with each other and the world using the technology like computers and smart
phones.
