• Session 3 - Computer Networks/Data Transfer - 08/01/2024

  Computer networking

  Understand the concepts, applications and implications of networks, including:

  • the purpose of different types of network (local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), personal area network (PAN), mobile broadband)

  • the common uses of network systems (resource sharing, data sharing, entertainment, communication)

  • the benefits of computer networking

  • the need to synchronise data held on devices forming a PAN.

  Data transfer 

  Understand the concepts, implications and processes of data transfer, including:

  • physical methods of transferring data between devices using wireless or cabled topology to meet the requirements for a specific user and purpose

  • wireless methods of transfer including the use of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies

  • cabled methods for transfer of data between devices, including the use of optical fibre, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and coaxial cables

  • the benefits and drawbacks of these physical methods
