Telecommunications Software Telecommunications
and network management
software may reside in PCs, servers, mainframes Network servers and other computers in a network use these programs to manage network performance. Network management programs perform functions such as automatically checking client PCs for input/output activity, assigning priorities to data communications requests from clients and terminals, and detecting and correcting transmission errors and other network problems. E.g. Windows XP , UNIX, Linux, or Microsoft Windows
Network Management Traffic
Management. Manage network resources and
traffic to avoid congestion and optimize telecommunications service levels to users. Security. Provide security as one of the top concerns of network management today. Telecommunications software must provide authentication, encryption, firewall, and auditing functions, and enforce security policies. Encryption, firewalls, and other network security Network Monitoring. Troubleshoot and watch over the network, informing network administrators of potential problems before they occur. Capacity Planning. Survey network resources and traffic patterns and users needs to determine how best to accommodate the needs of the network as it grows and changes.
The Business Value of
Telecommunications Networks Use
of the Internet, intranets, extranets, and
other telecommunications networks can dramatically cut costs, shorten business lead times and response times, support ecommerce, improve the collaboration of workgroups, Develop online operational processes, share resources, lock in customers and suppliers, and develop new products and services.

Network Architectures and
Protocols The
goal of network architectures is to
promote an open, simple, flexible, and efficient telecommunications environment, accomplished by the use of standard protocols, standard communications hardware and software interfaces, and the design of a standard multilevel interface between end users and computer systems.
Network protocol A
protocol is a standard set of
rules and procedures for the control of communications in a network. However, these standards may be limited to just one manufacturers equipment or just one type of data communications
Network protocol OSI
Model (Open Systems
Interconnection) TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) VOIP (Voice over IP)
Telecommunications Media/Hardware These
include twisted-pair wire, coaxial cables, and fiber-optic cables, Satellites, cellular phone systems, and packet and LAN radio, all of which use microwave and other radio waves.
