The
POP-point of presence : Allows access to internet. It contains all of the hardware which allows internet users access to the internet. An Internet Service Provider (ISP) may operate several PoPs in their area to allow good access to the internet.
ISP services Other than a gateway to the internet, ISP includes more services for
example, email. Many also provide web space for the development of websites,
technical support and troubleshooting.
Connecting backbone: The main connecting data routes between large networks on the internet and smaller networks in local
regions.

Description
Advantages
Disadvantages
Used by wireless-enabled
devices (computers, mobiles,
smartphones, etc.) to log in to
the internet. Wireless is exactly
what it says; there are no
wires to
connect. (See page 27.)
-Not fixed to
- Need a wire-
a stationary
computer
less hub
-Less secure than
wired connections. -slower
data transmission -speeds than
wired broadband methods.
A wired connection to a
broadband supplier. Normally the
connection is via a network
card
in the computer. Cable users
have
an Ethernet connection from
their computer to the network.
-Broadband
connections can
give
better reception and
are usually
faster than
dial-up.
- Requires a
base which is
wired in, so it
is less flexible
than wireless.
-Can be used
where there is
an accessible
wireless hub.
Html: a computer language used to create web pages. You can create
HTML directly in the language itself or by using authoring software (such as
Adobe , Dreamweaver or Microsoft ) which uses templates and wizards to
create HTML code. HTML files usually have a file name with .htm or.html
as the fi le extension; for example, document.htm.
Websites are broken down into 3 parts Head, Body and footer each has
its own tag- <Head>, <Body> and <footer>
URLs
Web pages are searched for using a uniform resource locator (URL) ,
which is a string of characters that identify a particular web page on
the internet. Every web page has a unique URL. URLs are made up of
three components
What
is an address book?
Within your email program, you can create a list of peoples contact
details (e.g. name, email address, company name, phone numbers).
What
are attachments?
You can send messages whilst attaching files (e.g. photos, documents,
spread sheets).
What
The same message can be sent to lots of people. Also you can copy people into
the email using the CC (carbon copy) field. The recipients that are entered in
this field will be visible to everyone the email is sent to. If you include a recipient on an email without wanting other people to see the email you can add
them into the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field.
Benefits of emailing
Drawbacks of emailing
Speed of delivery.
Cost. Unlike the conventional mail system, there is no additional cost to the
standard broadband charges.
Internet access. The fact that both sender and recipients have to have email
accounts can be a problem.

VoIP
A computer system which has microphone input, speaker or headphone output an a broadband connection can be used to transmit and
receive voice communication using this system. The webcam will allow
multimedia transmission (the simultaneous transmission of video and
audio). Web meetings and conferencing can be set up, using these
facilities.
The software required to run a VoIP system consists mainly of an encoding and decoding program, also known as a coder/decoder program (codec). This program is used to digitise an analogue voice signal,
then compress it and split it into internet packets for transmission. It
then performs the reverse at the receiving end. VoIP is not only available over desktop and laptop computers, but also over many other internet devices, such as smartphones. A popular VoIP system is Skype.
PARALLEL TRANSMISSION
In parallel transmission, a number of bits of data are transmitted
simultaneously over an equal number of wires/channels. This
was rather popular in terms of connecting a printer to a computer, however now its rarely used due to its cost and limited range.
SERIAL TRANSMISSION
In serial transmission, bits of data a transmitted one at a time,
over a SINGLE wire or channel. This somewhat reduces the cost
of the cable, however it gives a rather slow rate in terms of data
transfer. It can be used of large distances.
BI-DIRECTIONAL DATA
The word Bi-directional data consists of several meanings within
data communication, however it is essentially about transmitting
data in both directions.
Most recently the terms has been applied to fibre optics. In current technology, light passes only in one direction, therefore it is
required you add extra fibres to the bundle to carry a signal in
the opposite direction.

Main type of data types are: Text, Number, date/time and logical (Boolean).
Text (characters or string) - Its a sequence of letters, numbers and symbols. Someone's name would be in the text field. A memo-field is a field
