YEAR 2 WEEK CO1 NETWORK HARDWARE

Converts the data passing between networks using different protocols

Converts the digital signal received by a computer in to the format required by the data transfer media (cable,fibre) Modulation Demodulation

Wireless Bridges are ideal for connection small LAN’s together but for larger networks with more traffic, a router is used, speeds up connections on LAN’s and WAN data packet arrives,Uses IP to narrow it down to find location then uses a data bases to find the location Tries to find the most efficient way of getting from one point to another

has a number of dedicated Radio channel available the node can connect to. The radio data is then fed into the wired network

A device that repeat the signals so that they can get across larger distance physical distance
