1.0 INTRODUCTION
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.

Communications
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 a generic term describing your ability to use technology 'untethered', that is
not physically connected, or in remote or mobile (non static) environments. The term is evolved
in modern usage such that it requires that the mobile computing activity be connected wirelessly
to and through the internet or to and through a private network. This connection ties the mobile
device to centrally located information and/or application software through the use of battery
powered, portable, and wireless computing and communication devices.
This includes devices like laptops with wireless LAN or wireless WAN technology, smart mobile
phones, wearable computers and Personal Digital Assistant (PDAs) with Bluetooth or IRDA
interfaces. Mobile computing also defined as generic term describing one's ability to use

technology while moving as opposed to portable computers, which are only practical for use
while deployed in a stationary configuration.

2.2 Specification, services, and frequencies of Mobile Computing

2.2.1 Specification of iPhone 6 Plus
The iPhone 6 Plus is Apple's largest smartphone ever, with a 5.5-inch display and a resolution of
1080 x 1920 pixels -- good for a pixel density of 401 ppi. The rest of the highlights of Apple's
first phablet include a 64-bit dual-core A8 processor with an M8 co-processor, an 8-megapixel
iSight camera with optical image stabilization and a two-tone LED flash, and, for the first time
for an Apple device -- an NFC chip that facilitates mobile payments through the company's
Apple Pay service.

2.2.2 Services of iPhone 6 Plus

There are many services that this phone have. We can call, sending SMS and MMS using this
phone. One of the services is GPS. You can know where you stand. This phone also have Wi-Fi.
It is simple and straightforward. We also can get online with the web browser that comes in this
phone.

2.2.3 Frequencies of iPhone 6 Plus

iPhone 6 Plus can work properly on most GSM carriers over the world, including United States,
Canada and Puerto Rico. Its compatible bands are GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz),
UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz) and LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29).

3.0 INTERNET TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES

3.1 VoIP
VoIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol and it is also known as Internet Telephony. If you
have high-speed Internet (cable/DSL, LAN) on your computer, you can connect your phone to
your computer and make calls that way. So, you are basically making telephone calls over your
computer. You must have a special adapter for this to work, but when you do, you plug your
phone line into the adapter instead of plugging it into the wall jack. The adapter is then plugged
into your Internet modem, which allows VoIP to convert the voice signal from the phone line into
a data that is able to travel over the Internet.
The cool thing is, you still use your phone the exact same way. You will hear a dial tone and you
dial out just like normal. Just with VoIP, everything is combined into one function. Incoming
calls will also ring just like normal. The main reason you might decide to invest in this new
technology system is to save you money in the long run. VoIP services cost approximately $20 to
$30 a month, plus you're not paying for a phone line and Internet connection separately anymore.
The VoIP plans usually also include local and long distance calling, while some even provide
international calling.

3.2 BLOG
A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, usually maintained by an
individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as
graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can
also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more
personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web
pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an
interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although
some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music
(MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very
short posts.

4.0 Types of network

4.1 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 (an uplink).
Personal area networks may be wired with computer buses such as USB and FireWire. A
wireless personal area network (WPAN) can also be made possible with network technologies
such as IrDA, Bluetooth, UWB, Z-Wave and ZigBee.

4.2 VPN
VPN stands for "Virtual Private Network." (Not a competitor of UPN). This is a network term
that most computer users don't need to know, but at least you can impress your friends by talking
about it. A VPN refers to a network that is connected to the Internet, but uses encryption to
scramble all the data sent through the Internet so the entire network is "virtually" private. For
example, a large company that has offices in multiple locations may need to send data to the
different locations via the Internet. To keep the information secure, the company might first set
up a VPN with an encrypted connection. It's basically like having a secure Intranet over the
Internet.

4.3 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.
For the home user, wireless has become popular due to ease of installation, and location freedom
with the gaining popularity of laptops. Public businesses such as coffee shops or malls have
begun to offer wireless access to their customers; some are even provided as a free service. Large
wireless network projects are being put up in many major cities: New York City, for instance, has
begun a pilot program to cover all five boroughs of the city with wireless Internet access.

4.4 WIMAX
WiMAX, short for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a technology that allows
wide area high-speed wireless broadband. WiMAX can be deployed over great distances to
connect users to data services, like the internet, wirelessly. Currently, WiMAX hasn't seen wide
deployment across the United States, though wireless provider Sprint has recently launched its
XOHM network based on WiMAX in Baltimore, MD. A consortium of companies, however, has
banded together to release widespread WiMAX access under the name Clearwire. WiMAX
shares few technical similarities with the similarly named technology WiFi. WIMAX 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.

5.0 Conclusion
Nowadays, many people use computer to do their work. In this assignment, we can know what is
the meaning of computer network and communication. Computer network is a group of
interconnected computers. Communications means the process of transferring information from
one source to another. Besides that, we also can get the meaning of mobile computing. Mobile

computing is a generic term describing one ability to use technology while moving. Some
examples of mobile computing are PDA phones and 3G mobile phones. One example of PDA
phone is BlackBerry Bold. We also can know about Internet Technology and Services. VoIP or
Voice Over Internet Protocol known as Internet Telephony. A BLOG is a type of website. It is
usually maintain by an individual with regular entries of commentary. There are four types of
network that can be used by the computer. One of them is PAN or Personal Area Network. This
network is used for communication among computer devices close to ones person. VPN stands
for Virtual Private Network. This is a network term that most computer users dont need to know.
WLAN is a wireless local area network that link two or more computers or devices. Another
