Data Communications can mean many
things to different people, but when we are dealing with
computers and our interactions with them, we are typically
discussing equipment that was designed to provide or gather
information needs to communicate beyond itself, to similar
equipment or to a dissimilar system, Data Communications
provides the tools, products and equipment to make this happen.
A simple scenario would be two
personal computers in the same building, but 50 feet away from
each other. By hooking up a cable between the two personal
computers, we now have Data Communications. The extent of Data
Communications builds from this point on, since there are many
factors such as distance, topology, protocol, signaling,
security, etc.. that determine how Data Communications will take
place.
Some of our more common Data
Communications would be the simple act of your Personal Computer
connecting to the Internet with a modem. You have now
established a Communications between your PC and lets say a
website. Every time you click on a hyperlink, you are requesting
information and it is presented to you in some for of Data which
may letters, graphics, or colors.
Other forms come in ways you may
not see. If you are speeding on a some major highway, they have
sensors and cameras that can tell how fast you are traveling.
This system proceeds to capture a picture of your car, license
tag and information on the event. This Data automatically
Communicates to a central motor vehicle computer where it checks
the data base against your license tag number, when found,
it will send out your ticket in the mail.
Other forms of Data
Communications have changed the way work and live dramatically
by delivering immediate news and information right into our
homes, allow us to get money from an ATM without standing on a
bank line, shop, learn and buy any product or service without
leaving our home.
Data Communications will continue
to evolve and change dramatically for the foreseeable future. The
challenge for most businesses and corporations today are the
seemingly endless choices to achieve their Data Communications
needs. Equipment, standards and technology change weekly. In
house experts and employees are typically to busy maintaining
what they have. The logical choice is to work with companies
that specialize in Data Communications as their core business,
these companies see first hand all the new solutions and
equipment on a daily basis. These companies unlike manufacturers
are not biased toward solutions and therefore bring you the
correct solution to your applications. One such company with
this expertise is Pulse, the very website you are on now. If you
